Would like to see , your post operative report to comment on the exact treatment needed .
But from the details you have given it seems to be correct to give radio iodine therapy since post operative Tg is more than 1
This radio iodine therapy is not a very high dose radiation therapy and it will have no or minimal side effects only . So no need to worry about taking that and it will benefit patient in preventing disease recurrence .
I would be able to give you full explanation and detailed plan only after seeing your post operative report and any scan that are done .
