Yes, I do wish her well and hope she is treated optimally. It would be interesting to follow her thyroid journey and hopefully she has a good Endocrinologist.

Hi Meredith17,

Just came across this post. Very well done to you, total inspiration. Can you please share with us how you are keeping so well? Your journey post thyroidectomy and medication treatment etc. Really curious to know, as we rarely hear good success stories. Thanks
