I’m back again....

Hi Julesey

That's a bit rotten about your thyroid but it looks like the medics are well on top of things. I hope it's nothing and they just put you on thyroxine.

This swallowing thing....maybe it's just nervous anticipation of the worst case scenario which is only normal and something we all are so familiar with.

Fingers crossed it's not serious 

Hello - yes I hope its that but I’ve had it for a while and it feels exactly like tonsillitis that doesn’t go away - it’s like a muscle ache in the base of tongue  and neck (hard to describe) I’m wondering if it’s late effects of treatment and if anyone else has this? 

Hi Julesy

 Sorry to hear that you need more treatment. It is a very stressful time for you but put your faith in your medical team and a positive outcome.

I’ve been on thyroxine for years for hypothyroidism but not as a result of radiotherapy.

 The radiotherapy is a lifesaver but those side effects can be a problem. Good luck with the thyroidectomy.

Hi Julesey

My thyroid also became underactive after radiotherapy and I'm now taking levothyroxine.

Hypothyroidism causes a huge list of symptoms including a sore throat etc.  I also have a constant sore and uncomfortable throat since treatment but whether that's caused by the rt, robotic surgery or whatever I've no idea.

Good luck for Friday.  How long will you be in hospital for?

Good luck

I’m here - had it Friday and it’s uncomfortable but not like what we’ve all experienced in the past! Nothing compares to that brutal tonsillectomy and RT!

I’m doing ok day two was in overnight, no voice, hoping that comes back. Poor throats taken another battering. Just waiting for results and praying no further treatment needed - I was surprisingly brave...thanks for all the kind messages x 

Hi Linda - it’s hard to know what’s normal - Was in for one day/night, sore but I’m doing ok, hoping by two weeks I’ll be ok....light work for us RT warriors lol 

Brilliant that you got home so quickly. Fingers crossed for results and recovery

Oh well done Julesey.  Glad to hear you're back home.

I agree - it is hard to know what's normal.

Take it easy and hoping for some good news for you.
