Can you request a second opinion on FNA slides?
My endo doesn't seem to want me to have any more FNA's and is suggesting a
hemithyroidectomy
. The atypical cellswere follicular ones but for whatever reason there were not enough(??) / didn't display the right characteristics(??) to be placed in the 3f category.

3 FNA's two Inconclusive one a 3a - what to do?
I'm in such a quandry as my Endo said that assuming my nodule does prove to be benign after a proper biopsy following a
hemithyroidectomy
, only 10% of people would need to have long term medication and there is about a 3% chance of damage to my vocal chords.

Veracyte Afirma Thyroid Test in UK anywhere?
My Endo has suggested an elective
hemithyroidectomy
so they can have a proper look at my nodule. The thing is that around 85% of the time the result will be benign and 85% of patients would not have needed the operation!"

Possible symptom?
Hi, I had a
hemithyroidectomy
3 days ago because of a large cyst on the right hand side of my thyroid. As well as that my doctor was checking me as my blood tests had been coming back as slightly overactive.

Interesting information from optician
I told my optician, and also mentioned that I've been diagnosed with a multi-noldular goitre in the past week (having had a
hemithyroidectomy
12 years ago, and my mother is hypo). The optician immediately sprang into action!

Hemithyroidectomy and now throat feels constricted. Does anyone else have this?
I'm not sure whether this has got worse since my surgeon gave me a diagnosis of cancer, but it's beginning to drive me nuts. I mentioned this feeling to my surgeon, and he said it's normal, but I think it may be getting worse. Any suggestions?

Results confirmed thyroid cancer
Well, following my
hemithyroidectomy
on 2nd Jan, it was confirmed for me this evening that my lump was in fact Papillary Thyroid Cancer. I feel as though I knew this news was coming, but don't know a lot about it. So if anyone can offer anything positive I'd be really grateful.

Hemithyroidectomy and now hypo symptoms?
I had a huge nodule and
hemithyroidectomy
removed mid December. Since the op I've started suffering insomnia, feeling really achy and feeling the cold a lot more - my husband has remarked a few times how hot the house is when I'm wrapped in a hundred jumpers! I'm also drinking a lot of milk!
