Radio 4 Dr. Mark Porter discussing thyroid cancer
Balasubramanian Correct, so after the entire gland has been removed, or in other words a total
thyroidectomy
has been performed, the radioactive iodine, when given orally, gets preferentially taken up the thyroid gland along with the thyroid cancer and it helps to mop up any microscopic tiny remnants

Hi, I'm 49 and had a hemi
thyroidectomy
a few years back due to a suspicious nodule, which thankfully turned out to be benign. I have suffered for years with hypothyroid symptoms but my bloods according to the doctor are within the OK limits.

Hungry for info.
I'm a 54 year old female but had a partial
thyroidectomy
when I was 7 years old. They started me off after that on a tiny dose of T4 and over the years I've gradually increased to 200 mcg levothyroxine daily. All has been OK until I hit my menopause in the last year.

I am new here.....trying to get my dose right after thyroidectomy.
Had a
thyroidectomy
in June 2016. Put on 100mcg of Levothyroxine post-op and was very sick. Reduced to 75mcg. Consultant not happy with results of blood test so put me on 50mcg/75mcg alternate days, felt really tired and lethargic all the time.

Overactive thyroid - considering thyroidectomy but I really dont want to gain weight :(
So Dr has suggested a
thyroidectomy
but I am super concerned about gaining lots of weight. Ive never weighed more than 8 stone 7 and am currently just over 8 stone. How can I prevent the weight gain? Would T3 do this? Would I have to buy this privately myself?

Is there anything that can be done about neck adhesion?
After
thyroidectomy
some years ago my outer neck stuck to my inner neck so that when I swallow my neck moves up and down visibly stuck. Although this is mostly not a problem it is uncomfortable and when sleeping at night on the stuck side my breath whistles as it seems to compress windpipe.
