Adrian had the MIBG injection done at 11 this morning. With the Fukushima ordeal, we learnt more about the radioactive isotope. The Isotope that was used in MIBG is I-123 with a half life of 13 hours. Adrian was required to take Lugol's solution for 3 days (the day prior, the day of & the day after the injection) to protect his thyroid against radiation. It’s scary to know the amount of radiation Adrian has been exposed all through the years via different scans (MIBG / CT Scan). Unfortunately these tests are inevitable and will help us to detect any evidence of disease, if any.
