I am hypothyroid and because I take thyroid medication, my family doctor, who is an MD, but also combines allopathic medicine with wholistic medicine, gave me a precription for Lugol's solution, which is an iodine solution to take in water. I initially went to their office when I found my lump and they sent me for a mammogram and ultrasounds and also told me to take Lugol's because they said thyroid hormone takes iodine away from breast tissue. I have been taking it every since then. I have reponded well to chemo and Herceptin. My recent tumour marker (CEA) was down from 274 to 17 to 1.5.
