Thyroid Surgery??
Hi, I’m 14 years old (turning 15 in June)
and I’m having back surgery (fusion for scoliosis) in June.
During an MRI for my back they spotted a nodule (spelling?) or mass in my throid and we’ve decided to have surgery to get it out. I’m having a hemithyroidectomy I think its called.
I’m having it this upcoming tuesday (it’s wensday right now so in less than a week! 6 days!)
If you have had the thyroid surgery please tell me how it was, the pain, the recovery etc…
any tips or anything i should know!
thanks!
i’ll be out of school for just a week by the way. and in the hospital for 1-2 days they said.
thyroid surgery??????
How was the thyroid surgery like? and how was the recovery. Im having the surgery soon, so i jus wanted to know how it was like. also, hows it like being hyperthyroid to hypothyroid. wat was the difference in how u felt. and how long did it feel to get back to normal. i know it takes a while to get the right dosage. and any effects that came from removing the thyroid. thanks for the answers. appreciate it.
moonlight raven, can u leave ur email address…this wont let me email u, thanks.
I also have graves disease with a goiter. i had a cold nodule and had a biopsy which couldnt rule out cancer. after being on different meds, the metemazole has finally gotten the thyroid to normal and the cold nodule disappear. but i still have a goiter on my neck. i considered the surgery because i have a 14 month old son which is very attached to me. i also live with family with no extra room. i dont think the hospital would leave me if i took the radioactive pill. i jus thought the faster the better cause i take so much meds for my high blood pressure and heart rate. im extremely tired.
Thyroid surgery?
I just found out that my thyroid surgery will be done in a few days and they say they will remove the entire thyroid due to modules on both sides that might be cancer. Is this the best way to go?
