If the issue applies, make sure you discuss properly with anyone who wants to give you radioactive iodine. I suspect it will be at the obscure end of the scale.

Abstract
A 40-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid cancer underwent ablative 131I therapy. Postablation whole-body 131I scintigraphy revealed not only increased activity in the thyroid bed but also in the anterior part of the chest. SPECT/CT images localized the activity in the bilateral breast implants.
