Swelling or seroma?
I’m 5 weeks post
hemithyroidectomy
and still have swelling just above incision site. Consultant said to give it a few weeks. Not sure how long a few weeks should be before I contact him. How do I know if it’s a seroma and can be drained? Thanks

Daughters Final Diagnosis - Minimally Invasive Follicular Carcinoma
Dear All, I have written before about my daughters
hemithyroidectomy
. The removed nodule had cancer in it which measured 1.3cm. We finally got the reports after chasing the hospital constantly. Hers is minimally invasive follicular carcinoma, but with a strong suspicion of lymphovascular invasion.

Light headed after overexertion after hemithyroidectomy
Hi. Had a hemi 4 weeks ago. If I overdo it I get lightheaded, feel unwell and burst into tears. Not had my bloods measured yet for TSH. Consultant says normal to feel tired still at this stage but not emitional. Looking at all the info online can’t find anyone else like this. Am I going mad? Iron and

Had
hemithyroidectomy
March 1, 2018, (for follicular Ca, Hurthle cell variant), & still have altered swallowing & throat sensation ever since, (which did not exist pre op). *Is this my new normal? *Has anyone else experienced this?

Daughter 16 had a hemithyroidectomy. The removed nodule was cancerous
We decided to go for a
hemithyroidectomy
. We had a follow up appointment this morning and we were told that the removed nodule had cancer. So now they will decide whether they want to remove the other half (right thyroid gland) or not.

Lost sense of smell.
But after having the
hemithyroidectomy
my TSH levels have been rising to 6.6 but the free thyroid has remained stable within limits. But I found a condition called subclinical hypothyroidism that matches that condition. I also found reference linking high TSH and declining sense of smell.

Newbie needing help one year on from hemithyroidectomy
One year after my
hemithyroidectomy
(due to 1" benign cyst) my endocrinologist has discharged me because my bloods are 'normal' and my symptoms since the op are apparently 'just coincidence' and she referred me for an ECG as it 'might all be caused by an underlying heart problem'.

Hemithyroidectomy- success story!
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
a little over 3 weeks ago for an indeterminate nodule (i.e. they couldn't tell if it was cancer or not). To say I was nervous beforehand would be an understatement.

Hemithyroidectomy and levels
I'm now about 5 weeks post op from a
hemithyroidectomy
dueto a benign growth 'hyperplasia' measuring a sizable 60x70x40mm. It had been growing for several years, we'd been keeping an eye on it but it had gotten so big I had compression symptoms, so it had to go.

Exhausted after Hemithyroidectomy
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
three weeks ago today, and cancer was found but was inside the thyroid side taken. I have returned to work fulltime this week and am exhausted. I work for 8 hours struggle for the last 3 hours and go straight to bed for a few hours rest. Is this normal?

Hemithyroidectomy
Went to see consultant 2 weeks ago after another aspiration 6 weeks ago and again neck is swollen and lump had grown again so I finally sighed my consent for a
hemithyroidectomy
which is happening this week. I would be grateful for any info that may help me- how long did people have off work?
