Hi all

I Am new here , just been diagnosed with Papillary thyroid cancer and was offered a surgery to remove the whole thyroid . Has anyone done this before ?

how do you feel now ?

thanks 

  • Hi just had mine removed in 2 operations  mine was papiliary thyroid cancer just waiting for radiation treatment  I've experienced no pain  for a 10cm growth  hope this helps 

  • Thanks for your reply . I’m glad you have no pain and wish you a speedy recovery. I’m just afraid of surgeries that’s all

    take care for now 

  • Good luck for your recovery you will be fine  best wishes 

  • Hi, I had 2 thyroid surgeries in 2022 and 2 radioactive iodine treatments and no cancer has come back in the area I had it. To get through surgeries I meditated to keep myself calm. I hope this helps. 

  • Hey, I have follicular variant Papillary thyroid carcinoma was confirmed after I had a full thyroidectomy. X2 suspicious FNA's couldn't confirm but I also had Graves disease so went ahead with TT, surgery was ok tbh, I've always had a thing I never wanted surgery but it wasn't too bad, when I woke had a sore throat but could eat fine, I've been tired but medication needs altering and they didn't want to yet as I just had RIA yesterday. 

    Hope all goes well whatever you decide x
