Has anyone here done this? I generally make mine just with the dough and
beans. Nothing else. I haven't tried freezing them as I generally just
make the right amount for the meal but I know that some of the Pupuasrias or
Taquerias around here make them up in advance. Not all do. So I assume
that they could be refrigerated. But I haven't tried that either. Maybe
they refrigerate before cooking?

they couldn't be held under refrigeration for a few hours after they
are formed. They are sturdy, so they should freeze beautifully.
Based on my experience with tamales, I'd cook them first. That way
it's just heat and eat. Freeze in a single layer, then bag them up
for storage.

thinking ahead. I don't know if I will need radiation or not but if I do, I
think I can not cook because I will need to isolate myself from others. I
also can not eat most commercially prepared foods as they could contain
iodine. So I would have to have things prepared ahead of time that someone
else could easily get for me. Plus, I might want to make extras anyway. I
love them!

why do you need to isolate yourself if you have radiation treatment?

Seems implausible given the iodine is in such a small dose.
Are you sure?

sharing of dishes and such. Flush toilet twice. Shower daily, clothing
washed separately. Keep 10 feet away from all others. Stuff like that.
How many days I would be like that would depend on the exact treatment
given.

Radiation therapy does not make you radioactive and/or radioactive to
others. The doctors and therapists will map out a treatment for you.
You will receive two tatoos (itty bitty marks) that will pinpoint the
treatment area. The depth of the treatment is calculated precisely.
If you were radioactive, do you think you would be allowed to wander
around the hospital and in public without a special suit covering your
entire body? Are you going to dispose of your car after your
treatment is over because it is now radioactive?

You don't "wander around the hospital and in public" because you will
be quarantined in a lead-lined isolation room that is covered in
plastic sheeting. The person who brings you the pill will be wearing
the "special suit". In countries other than the US, patients are kept
in hospital for several days, and after that they are instructed to
keep their distance from others, use separate dishes, etc.

I am basing this on what I have read online and what has been told to me by
others who have had it. I can ride in a car but only for so many minutes.
I have forgotten now what that is. I presume this would only be to get
home. I would not go out in public at all but stay home and isolate myself.
If I have to be on the maximum dose, I would then be confined to a hospital
where no one would enter my room. Food trays are left for me and not picked
up until after I leave.
There would be no wandering of the hospital or driving the car around.

thyroid issues did not have this issue. I've looked it up and she
won't have to give the car away as the half life of radioactive iodine
is 8.02 days.

Glad I could help. I know all this because a friend of mine with
thyroid cancer went through it about 15 years ago.
Thyroid cancer is one of the cancers that is pretty much entirely
curable. You just have to pop a pill every day for the rest of your
life.

That depends on the type and how it's given. Some does.

Some patients receiving large doses of a treatment that IS
radioactive, will be isolated in hospital for that reason.
Patients on smaller radioactive doses can be allowed home if their
domestic circumstances can avoid risk to others.

might happen to me. But I can still prepare by making sure that I have
non-iodized salt and some plans to have ready to heat or eat food available.
I can isolate myself at home but it won't be fun. Would have to move the
cat box and the worst part would be having no contact with the cats. I'm
not sure they would understand. But I would much rather be at home than go
to a motel/hotel which is something I know that other people have done.
