Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's natural to feel apprehensive about having surgery and wondering what the recovery time will be like but I'm sure if you join our thyroid cancer group you'll find others who will be happy to share their experiences with you.

It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
