Before and After Radioiodine therapy Pictures
Bookimed is a company of a good modern level, in any case do not think not to trust
I want to evaluate the work of Bookimed as a whole on the results of organizing the treatment of a father well. After examining the results of the surveys, we were presented with options for treatment. Despite the fact that initially we practically had a clinic for treatment selected (on our own), we revised and made a decision to undergo treatment at a clinic in Germany, which Bookimed offered. For all organizational issues, both Bookimed and the logistics company from the clinic offered support. We did everything on our own, but still it is nice when they want to help you. There were minor inconsistencies in organizational issues. But with the mines that provide support, always in touch and help them solve. But as for the treatment process at Helios Krefeld, everything is on the level. The result is satisfied. Of the minuses - the discharge process is not fully organized, the time for receipt of documents is not specific and rather long. A translator is needed. After we returned from treatment, we are awaiting the receipt of documents (conclusions) from the clinic, we have not left us on this issue either. Bookimed is a company of a good modern level, in any case do not think not to trust. The main thing is to keep the level and only raise it.

Ralf Buhl

At Städtisches Klinikum Solingen radioactive iodine therapy is conducted in the Cancer Department. This procedure is used to treat thyroid cancer.

Radioiodine therapy is an effective time-proven way of eliminating malignant agents. The thyroid accumulates radioactive iodine isotopes which then destroy cancerous tissues. Correctly calculated medicine quantity does not cause harm to patient’s health.

Individuals that underwent the procedure might be required to stay in a radio-isolated room for up to 1 week, based on their iodine intake. The exposure to radiation leaves no long-term consequences for health.
