I'm not Liz but I do have something to offer on this topic. My late sister had her thyroid treated with radioactive iodine back in 1989 and developed leukemia a year or so later. There is some suggestion that secondary cancers can be caused by too high of a level of radioactive iodine. Here is a link that you may wish to read:
