A member asked:

I had papilliary carcinoma removed feb. 11, 2012 during my second trimester of pregnancy. still haven't done iodine treatment.. is it to late?

Sounds okay: This should be okay after baby is born. Double-check with your physician. Glad that nasty little thing is out of your neck (thyroid, correct?).
