Total thyroidectomy after partial - any surprises in store?
So, I had a partial
thyroidectomy
last month and the remaining half will be removed at the end of this month (papillary carcinoma). I'm suppose I'm just looking for a bit of quick reassurance from people who had a TT done in 2 stages. I felt pretty ok after my first surgery, all things considered.

More boring test results
My latest results are: T4 11 (9-19) TSH 3.4 (0.4 - 5.00) and guess what that's 'NORMA'L range as far as they are concerned I had a total
thyroidectomy
in 2001, it just upped and went into self destruction (was like a stone welded to my pharynx apparently).

Surely Waiting this Long Can't Be Right???
4) Will a surgeon perform a complete
thyroidectomy
rather than a partial one if I ask for it? Thanks for reading, I hope some of you can help shed some light for me here!

Endocrinal Set backs
Hi, I had a part
Thyroidectomy
and then later a brain Tumour in 2009 it was removed and I got a bit better. My walking was bad then but has improved by sheer will power I think. I get a lot of pain and Muscular upsets, not sure exactly what my conditions are to date, sorry to be so morbid.

Daughter feels rubbish
My 17 year old daughter has hashimotos and had a total
thyroidectomy
at the beginning of this year as her thyroid was so full of cysts that she couldn't swallow properly and was short of breath with little exertion. She did feel much better post op but now complains of feeling unwell again.

Thyroidectomy advice
Met with surgeon who has recommended surgery for 3.5cm nodule on my thyroid. Been having difficulty swallowing and constant feeling of pressure in my throat. My blood results are euthyroid despite suffering hypothyroid symptoms. I'm nervous about having surgery. If I feel rubbish now with normal thyroid

Hi Everyone
I had Thyroid Cancer 10 years ago which ended with a complete
thyroidectomy
and radiation therapy. Though I have lived with this condition for a long time, my knowledge is lacking somewhat and I hope to educate myself.

Reflux issues after surgery
I had a partial
thyroidectomy
6 days ago and I am having a couple of issues that are worrying me, that I'm hoping others have experienced and can tell me if it's normal or not? I've been trying to get hold of my hospital ward all day (no luck) and the earliest GP appt is over a week away.

Scar tissue result from thyroidectomy 20 yrs ago
Its been 20 years since I had right thyroid lobe removed now having hard time swallowing and appears I have quite a build up of scar tissue that could be the cause, anyone had this experience and how can I get it corrected? Surgeon is no longer active.
