Has anyone had op to remove half thyroid? What's recovery period like.?
Out of curiosity... what are the reasons one would have half their thyroid removed? Thank you to Gill or anyone else who may answer..
I hav nodule's on the right side told its not cancer but need to be removed.thats all they told me.
Hi I have had this done in 2007 I was off work for 3 weeks as that what was recommended. I didn't drive in this time. Recovery wasn't bad at all I can't remember being in any pain. The only thing that did happen was that my thyroid was under active within 2 months which meant I had to start taking thyroxine.
Right thanx for that. I hav a weekend away 8 days after op. ( booked months ago) think I best cancel it try get bit cash bac.no point been silly &feeling bad on the coach . Doc mentioned I might hav to take thyroxine.
Hi,
I had to nodules that were benign so I had the iodine ablation as my first option. It did clear the 1 nodule and decreased the other. I have a coworker that had hashimoto and she told me to never get partial thyroid removed because she had partial and regrets it. She said she wished they removed the whole thing.
Ooh heck
Hi Joanne Hope you don't mind my asking but what age were you roughly when you had this operation?
I was 27 when I had the op
Thank you... Best wishes to you.
