Treatment is the surgical removal of the thyroid gland, followed by life long thyroid hormone replacement and then possibly radioactive iodine treatment several months after surgery.
My surgery is booked for 27 Feb. I’ll be having a CT scan the week before mainly, I think, for my surgeon to get clear view of what’s happening. The specialist thyriod nurse is available for me to speak to and answer all my questions but really I just need to get it done as soon as possible. I’ll be in overnight but unlikely to be longer. However I’m not allowed to lift anything heavy when I’m back home presumably while my stitches heal.
I’ll start on thyroid hormone replacement straightaway. I don’t know any more than that at the moment. There has been a lot to take in.
