Went to see consultant today, confirmed as hurtle cell stage 3, so I am off to have half my thyroid removed in 6 to 8 weeks, I was quite surprised that due to the diagnoses he did not suggest a full thyroidectomy, but I have to trust him, I have read so many blogs where people have had to have the other half of theirs done six weeks after especially with this type of cancer, has anyone had hurtle cell and got away with only one side, I saw a ENT surgeon, should I ask to see an oncologist after this thing is taken out, all a bit confused, my tumour is 5cm plus I have a 2.5 cm cyst as well which they say is benign, I felt completely trusting in him and he is top in his field, but all the people going through the same thing also seem to seem to have an oncologist, needless to say I didn't ask the right questions! Hope you all Ok
