Hi
I had part thyroid removal in September and was advised it had attached to trachea so they scraped it from there . I was advised to prepare for further surgery for right side which I had removed 5 days ago with 2 lymph nodes removed too . I am taking calcium 2 tablets twice a day plus thyroxine . I am so afraid of looking at things on internet and scaring myself.
I worry about calcium I worry it’s low . I just worry about how my body feels at the minute .
I will be having iodine radiation in January. I find I’m worrying all the time at the moment about everything.
I am normally a very strong independent woman and all of a sudden I don’t know what to expect. I am just looking for positive support
thank you in advance
Sorry you are feeling this way. Ive only had half my thyroid removed so can’t really relate to what is happening to you.
it’s scary and every ache or cramp or anything different I’m reaching out for Dr Google.
I’m also feeling quite down at the minute. All normal apparently but it doesn’t make it easier.
you’ve reached out which is good. Mentally and physically you are going though a lot so feeling scared, sad alone I’d say I’d all normal but hopefully someone with a bit more insight will reply to you. X
