Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have papillary carcinoma of thyroid and meningiom.
You should take radioactive iodine therapy for your thyroid cancer. It is safe and it is not responsible for meningioma development. Go with your treatment.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Don't worry about meningioma.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
