Today I had an appointment with an Endocrinologist their internist or Residency student she basically said the other 1/2 of my thyroid gland needs to be removed because of the type of cancer it is.
I don’t feel comfortable with having a second surgery for the same thing done a second time. If it need to be removed why didn’t they remove the whole thyroid while I was in surgery on August 22,2024. My heart is broken right now I’m crushed with this news.
I called my PCP to get a second opinion as going through a second surgery for the same thing is to drastic right now.
Why couldn’t that Endocrinologist recommend working with me right now and doing lab work to see where my thyroid harmone levels are until I decide what’s best for me.
My neck is still sore from the first surgery and it’s only been about 3 weeks .
The Endocrinologist also said after the removal of the other 1/2 thyroid she would give me Radioactive I-131 (iodine) . Then start me on LevoThyroxine. I’m so saddened by all o
