Having Thyroid Surgey
On the 11th, I will be undergoing thyroid surgery.The dr.s. found 3 large nodules on the left lobe of my thyroid the size of quarters. They are calcified and that isn't a good sign. They have also found 2 smaller nodules on the right lobe of my thyroid. One of them they will not be able to get at b/c it is in the thyroid itself.
The doctors are shooting first for just a thyroid lobectomy - removing half of the thyroid, yet I will be able to live without thyroid meds...but if it is cancer- and there is a strong possibility of this-, they will have to remove the entire thyroid....I will have to undergo RAI...and I will have to be on thyroid meds for the rest of my life.
I actually feel very peaceful about this....the only thing that I am dreading is being couped up in the hospital...I need to be constantly doing something productive...whether it be planting veggies or painting the house...etc...or I'll go nuts. I hate not being able to do anything for a period of time whether its a short amount of time or not.
Please keep my family & I in prayer these next few weeks
*Hugs* Debra

Consider it done Debra. Whateverr you are going through, I know that your attitude will have a huge effect on your recovery. Will put you and your family on our prayer list. Take care my friend.

Hugs, the first part of it all seems overwhelming to me but the "thyroid meds for life" doesn't. I have taken thyroid meds since I was 5 years old, teeny tiny cheap pill. Its a breeze! Although maybe the medication is different in your situation but that's all I know about thyroid is my own pills.
I also have a friend who went through this without problems and complications. (hers was cancer and totally removed)
Best wishes for your surgery and recovery!!LDR
