Hello: Many thanks for the videos. Just found out I have cancer as well. One lump on right side but they are removing the whole thyroid plus front lymph nodes. Didn't know if you had those removed as well. Unfortunately its two days before Thanksgiving. Would you please let me know how tough the first few days after surgery were. Thanks and hope youare doing GREAT!!

Same exact sanero. OBGYN found the nodule, inconclusive ultra sound and biopsy, removed nodule and right side of tyhroid on june 20th, came back possitive. Dr. called 4:30 fri gave me the news over the phone. spent the entire weekend tore up over it: and how he handled it. schedualed the second surgery for the next day,1st of July. the extra day in the hosp. is for calcum levels that the para thyroid does.I have not done the radition iodine yet.please keep us posted on how you are doing.

You're welcome. I made this video in hopes of helping other people. I was 25 when I got the news about cancer. I'm 26 now so I'm not that far away from it all.

i'm waiting to get my results to see if the nodule on my thyroid is cancerous, they should call me tomorrow, i am extremely scared. after watching your video you gave me strength, thank you for that. also, if you dont mind, how old were you when you found out about your cancer? i am only 20 years old.
thank you for your strength

You are entirely too young to have gone through what you did. I'm sorry that happened to you. However, I am grateful that you posted your experiences for the benefit of those who may be looking for information about thyroid surgery, which may ultimately include me.My test is scheduled for next week... the test where you take the radiated iodine pill and then have a scan the next day. I have a lump that seems to be growing, so it doesn't look good. The ultrasound showed multi-nodules.
