What the Report Says

I went to the hospital and got a copy of the ACTUAL post RAI report so I will know exactly what it said:

"Uptake is seen in the lower neck presumably in the area of the thyroid and there is lesser area of uptake above that, likely also in the thyroid bed. A fair amount of uptake is seen in the salivary glands and there is some asymmetry with uptake on the left probably in the nasal sinus. Some bilateral uptake is seen in the breasts likely due to the sodium iodide symporters. No areas of abnormal uptake are seen in the chest, abdomen or pelvis."

I know that the fact there there were no areas of abnormal uptake elsewhere is a good thing...

but is the rest good, bad or indifferent?
