Hemithyroidectomy in November
Hi all, I’m having a
hemithyroidectomy
in November to remove a single large nodule which is becoming obstructive (believed to be benign).

Throat soreness
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
4 days ago and I was expecting a sore throat but mine seems sorer each day rather than easing off. Swallowing is painful too so wondered if anyone else has experienced this. Don’t know if this is normal or I’m being to impatient ?

Thyroid tests results
Had
hemithyroidectomy
on 7 March. TSH was 1.45 pre op. Now 2.6 and FT4 15.9. Are these results ok please? Was feeling lightheaded but better now on iron tablets. Serum ferritin was 69 which is normal but as I have RLS should be greater than 75 so persuaded GP to let me try some iron.

Hemithyroidectomy 8 weeks ago TSH 2.7
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
8 weeks ago. Luckily benign nodule. Had TSH measured 7 weeks post op. It was 2.66. Feel lightheaded if I’m walking or have overdone it earlier in the day and just don’t feel quite right. Experienced PMS for first time too. Bit emotional. TSH before op was 1.45.

Exercises after hemithyroidectomy?
Hello - I had a
hemithyroidectomy
on Tuesday. All went to plan and the scar appears to be healing well and it's nice to not have a big lump pressing on my windpipe! My neck is very tight and it's hard to move it left/right/up/down.

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.

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.
