Hi everyone, I‘m due to start my RAI on 24th Jan. I’m mainly feeling nervous about being away from my 2 little children, but i think I’d better also think about how I might feel! Thought this would be a good place to ask questions! I read somewhere...
Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone else had a long process getting to the right levothyroxine levels? I had my thyroidectomy 10 weeks ago, started on 100mg then consultant upped it to 125 after 3 weeks because my TSH levels were far to high. But I’ve...

Hi, I eventually got a diagnosis after two biopsies and 6 1/2 week wait for pathology post hemithyroidectomy. I am still a bit shell shocked but had a provisional date for completion surgery given today, for 3 weeks time! A bit scared about the Hurthle...
So I still have not had a confirmed diagnosis. They keep saying enlarged thryroid and goiter and it has been over 7 weeks since my biopsy and I feel none the wiser, still in the dark. I spoke to my consultant secretary and she said my results were in...
I had 2 operations and RAI treatment in 2023 for thyroid cancer and immediately after my dad passed away. My 8 year old daughter is having the hardest time of all of us processing everything that has happened this year. The fall out is most noticeably...
