Re: should I have the thyroidectomy? i feel GREAT

Good lord, he wants to take out the whole thyroid gland and he doesn't even know for sure it is cancer??

My view: Forget it.

Get a second or third opinion. Needle biopsy of the lump if you must. If it comes up cancer, then do another round of deliberations at that point.

Thyroid is a vital organ. Not something to cut out at a whim.

I'f had half mine cut out and sorely regret it.

I've got 2 nodules and treat myself with iodine. Good results so far in shrinking the nodules.
