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?

Consultation after hemithyroidectomy
Hi guys - I am going to see the ENT consultant today after having a left hemi-thyroidectomy last Wednesday. Reason for the op was to identify and remove a large cyst. Prior to the op the consultant was certain he was removing a benign cyst only (and that I could have adopted a waitful watch approach

Newbie - Confused about hemithyroidectomy
Hi - I am scheduled for a left hemi-thyroidectomy on Wednesday. I have a 3cmx3cm cyst which appears to be benign but the FNA biopsy showed only cystic fluid which is an insufficient result. TFT were normal. The options for me were to repeat the FNA or have the hemi-thyroidectomy. I thought repeating

Help with Medichecks test results please.
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
in Feb 17 due to a suspect nodule, which turned out to be fine, however was diagnosed with hashimotos. I've been on 125mg Levothyroxine for the last year and generally my results with the doctors have shown TSH to be below 1.

Post Thyroid Ca Levo
Pre
hemithyroidectomy
I had a TSH of 1.6, on Tuesday it was 3.65. My FT4 was 20 pre op and is now 12.9. On Tuesday I was 8wks plus 4 days post op. The GP is refusing to prescribe because I am still in reference range.

Any help greatly appreciated
As a result I had a
hemithyroidectomy
in December 2011. Despite the pain and discomfort immediately after surgery I felt the best I had in a while; I wasnāt tired, and my brain was working again. At this time my TSH level was 0.5. Slowly though, this feeling faded and I felt worse than ever.

Bit of advice on what to try next?
Had a
hemithyroidectomy
last July. Felt ok for a few weeks, then all went to pot. Was put on 25mcg of Levo immediately, which was then upped to 50mcg. Still having a lot of aching legs, plus some weakness in muscles. Endo decided I was having enough, so left me on 50mcg.

Hypoparathyroidism - Advice Needed
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
in Feb 2014 to remove a parathyroid cyst. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in June 2014 and started on thyroxine which was eventually increased to 100mcg.

advice after hemithyroidectomy
Hello, I posted here a while ago about my 15yr old daughter. She has Hashimotos. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about things to look out for or to do after her op this month. She has a 2.5 cm nodule in one side of her thyroid. The biopsy was inconclusive. After it has been removed

Will I be vindicated?
I had a
hemithyroidectomy
in 2006 and completion in Feb this year. I've been on 175mg of levo for most of the last 10 years. Since May I've become increasingly hypo symptomatic. I'm having a crises of confidence that he is going to agree with gp and that this is as good as it's going to get.
