Very informative. Thank you
Thank You very much! This info is quite useful…
This has been very helpful
Thanks for sharing your very informative info.
My mother had her thyroid cancer manifest in her ovaries. This is what's happening to me now. Peace out y'all
Very informativee... thankzzz
I lost 50 to 60 lbs and thyroid cancer left me with graves disease..was informed that it can comeback
Can excess cell phone use radiate our thyroids?
Hi, I was 9 years old when Chernobyl accident, I'm 45 now and have thyroid cancer.
Great information !
Just had the FNA 3 days ago. Waiting on reports.
Thank you.
Been through all the tortures for 8 years. Am refractory. Bad surgery side effects many years now. Still have lung and neck mets. One neck lump is over 3cm and visible, yet new family doc called me a liar for 5 years, switched doctor. New doc is refusing to help.
Drs in the past never took blood for thyroid antibodies nor did they do a neck palpate exam.
Many ppl probably had thyroid cancer but it didn’t kill them.
I had my right lobe removed at Stanford in October 2018. I'd be interested in knowing if I can or how I cab be tested for the BRAF gene?
How are you now?
Talking abnormalities, my T4 level was given to me on one occasion, often they dont tell me if something is out of limits. Since being 15, i know i have had rapid cycling bipolar. Must have up 8 occourence a year, talkin so fast no one understood me. Sent home from work because with the speed i was going they thought i was dangerous then periods of absolute nothing. Being 62 I still suffer, one doctor he said so you have r cycling Bipolar, He said this with my T4 level being at 7. I thought we have a visionary here! I'm on antidepressives and Clnonazepam 6mg . It helps but suffer PTSD also due to death of 2 children. Years ago I was treated as how can he know what he has and he has a personality disorder, fools. Sorry I know this is about cancer but still a valid point worthy of mentioning to two endocrinologists. It has changed with years now it's a lot of depression and anxiety. Don't they treat it above 2.5 in the USA. Thanks. It's been a lifetime rollercoaster ride to put it mildly. Why should my results be so high, what triggers it.
I got a complete thyroidectomy at standard in October 2014. I’m struggling with T4 abnormalities I feel pretty weak with depression. I will ask my doctor what kind of test I can have to see if I have a hereditary gene.
It wasn't easy for me caring for my family because i had Hypothyroidism I almost gave up then a friend of mine introduced me to Dr. Isibor on youtube who cured me with his natural herbal medicine I'm much better now thanks to dr isibor.....
How about cellphones??
Many years ago X-rays dentist no coving of thyroid also 23 pregnant 6 months salt free diet as was getting big from 50 lbs weight gain
Most definitely from the meds it is not generics and make sure if they say you have thyroid cancer make sure you see 2 or 3 doctors to say you do
i just had ultra sound - two thyroid nodules - one needs fine needle aspiration to check it --- I am scared!
She is the best surgeon ❤
I am the first person and hopefully the only person in my family to have thyroid cancer. My family and I are clueless to the cause of my Medullary Thyroid Cancer. I’m great it was found at 1 centimeter. I was given a thyroidectomy, which doesn’t bother me, since I had hypothyroidism.

Have ever undergo with radio active iodine right after your surgery?
How are you now?
Hi Doc. Gdmorning 😊 I'm pretty good thanks for now my doctor keep on monitoring my TSH every 3 months and thyroglobulin and thyroid Altrasound once a yr.
I can't help but notice so many people close to me who have suffered greatly from all sorts of cancers (especially thyroid) and also happen to be young, have all had the flu shot or other vaccines a few months or less than a year prior to their diagnosis. Do you ask your patients ever when they first come to you if they have had any shots prior to their problems?
Probably much more problems will come in the near future to those jabbed poor souls. Already there are huge problems on new born babies from vaxxd individuals. So sad.
@@pedecia yes agreed. I can't help but get angry when I see doctors who continue to ignore the big elephant in the room - the jab.
@@benjaminashery7728 fascis-tube keep removing my comments. Will try to put it more lightly lol.... Doctors risk loosing their licence if they talk against the pois.n. They will get audited by the corr..pted, bought out gov..ment. All about de...po.pul..a...tion agenda and it will not stop.
There is a difference between correlation and causation. You can also say that 99% of people diagnosed with thyroid cancer had drank soda with aspartame in the previous 6-12 months, but it still wouldn't be the cause.
Wow my mother was just diagnosed with this a month after they gave her preveria? (I think) in the hospital for vaccination against respiratory complications. Are they intentionally medically murdering people now? It seems so.... I would avoid getting another medications like this until the pharamsuitical industry isn't running our country anymore, just to be sure. Don't let them give this kind of stuff to your children.
What about high dose Melatonin to slow down cancer progression and/or reduce the risks of the cancer coming back at the other side of the thyroid left in place? Many papers have been published on melatonin and its role to slow down cancers especially hormonal cancers.
I got thyroid cancer when I was 15. Or well when it was first removed. I noticed a knot year before. I tried to get ppl/ drs to hear me about the knot. It was always pushed aside as I may just have a swollen glans from allergies or somthing. It kept getting bigger n no one cared. I was in foster care at the time. One day i went to dr/obgyn for my menstrual was off. And the meds kept messing with my blood sugar so they sent me to a diabetic dr. Who asked me about my thyroid..we did a biopsy and found the cancer. It was nice to finally be heard. We removed on side in 2006 I was 15 there was signs after that was still there so went back in 2007 and removed the other side. And then I still had to do radiation treatment. Now days I have to take meds for it. And have had a few issues with health because i dont have a thyroid..
Gosh, I am so sorry to hear what you went though. I have been going to Drs for years. They don't listen. My ENT eventually tried to help by trimming my uvula in my throat because I was complaining that I cannot breath at night. I am not overweight and yet diagnosed with sleep apnea. I don't respond to CPAP. I was then diagnosed with Ideopathic hypersomnia (passed test with flying colours). I have cough, often hoarse and sore throat, dry eyes and the list goes on. I had a Thyroid test done and waiting for the results. I just know that if negative the Dr will just leave it there. I honestly just cannot go on. I am going to insist on an ultrasound.
Are you doing better?
@@denisekriel5892 I hope they find out the cause. You may need to find a new dr if they just leave it. Keep looking till you are heard. As far as we know cancer is long gone. I get blood work done on it. Every month. On everything. I take thyroid meds. My period has a mind of it's own. It goes for long times then stops like 3 years on 1 year off I dk it's so crazy. I never know what to expect. I'm working on if I'm bipolar or if it's the thyroid hormones. Have diabeties. Dont have to take insulin but do take meds for that. I have lot of medical probs. But it dont stop me from being happy. Yeah it's a pain in the rear but I just take it as it's a part of life.
How old are you now? Did the cancer came back?
@@pedecia I'm 32 now. And as far as I kno no. It's been a few scares tho. I have a really high white blood cell count. Which I guess u get when u do have cancer too. But it triggers drs into looking. But so far nothing has been found. So hope not!
@@livinglife3761 are you in a special diet regiment or take supplements at all? How much of your thyroid was removed? Do you need to take hormone replacement drugs?
How long ones can survive after thyroid cancer removed /thyroidectomy
What the survior after throyid cancer
Are there any studies on combat veterans exposed to radiation in Iraq or Afghanistan? And if you have thyroid cancer can supplementing nascent iodine make the cancer worse?
That is my question too..... Does too much iodine supplement increase the chance of thyroid cancer or creates cancer?
I had thyroid cancer , my whole thyroid got removed , I had oral iodine radiation.
Hello, My thyroid gland was removed 1.5 years ago. Usually I wake up every morning, take a pill then sleep again for an hour and then wake up. Recently, often I am feeling bad and tired, sometimes concentration (mental) on a subject is difficult for me, and even at the morning when I wake up after sleeping 8 hours I am still tired and I can not feel as energetic and fresh as I did before surgery. Thus I would like to know whether can sleeping after taking pill cause such effects? In addition I would like to mention that always all required test results have been in their normal range. Thanks
I've just had my thyroid removed and I'm so tired I take my levothyroxine when I wake up early to use the bathroom then I go back to sleep for a few hours
Hi we same situation.So I search everything.And great news for me I try taking my levothyroxine in the night.And I have a good slept.And full energy in the day.You try also for a week if you think is good also to you.Please take your med after your dinner wait 2-3 hours before your bed time..Hope is worth it to you.
God always with you🙏
I'm not sure about this pill specifically but I do know that hormone pills are meant to be taken around the same time everyday and ideally right when you wake up. try to take it before you get up for the day :)
If you're using generic levo ask your doc if you can do a name brand and possibly adding T3. Or ask to try natural dessicated thyroid, it's made from pig glands. Read Stop the Thyroid Madness, it's a website that will tell you all you need to know.
I can't help but notice so many people close to me who have suffered greatly from all sorts of cancers (especially thyroid)
and also happen to be young, have all had the flu shot or other vaccines a few months or less than a year prior to their

Is using Kosher Salt bad for Thyroid Nodules?
17:15 "the good news is most of them what's called papillary thyroid cancer
which is the most common type of thyroid cancer and also the least aggressive..." Does it mean there is a cure and should not cause a major anxiety?
It's a slower pathology. Treatment can help you go into remission
yes they just take out either half of the thyroid or the whole thing. you mihht need the thyroid hormone depending on which surgery they did and then you'll be fine
There are other options then just taking out the thyroid. RFA and Alcohol Ablation
I got thyroid cancer and completed my thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment.But Im still not better anymore.Everynight i suffering eyes pain and headache and my neck from right side very pain.
I had alots of medication still not getting better.
Especially my painfull eyes no one told if related in my thyroid cancer..
Anyone help me to getting better..
Thank you and Godbless..
It sounds like you have dry eyes. Did you see an eye specialist?
Pray hun 🙏🏽
Why did you have to do radioactive iodine treatment? Hiw big was the cancer? A plant based diet helps alot curing inflammations inside our body. Also making sure you have good level of vitamin D3 inside your body is very important. Remember take D3 supplements always with a k complex supplement aswell to avoid calcium build ups inside arteries.
I got three cancer removed and the size is 38cm..They told I need radioactive iodine treatment.. And now Im lifetime taking Levothyroxine..
Thank you
hi, I recently had my thyroid removed and now I also have dry eyes/painful eyes sometimes and they water and are sometimes red. I went to the dr last week they said it could be allergies and gave me drops. it is helping but it is not gone.
Just found out I have it . Fuck this day
Me too, prayers for us both!
How you doing?
How ya doing now? I hope everything is alright 🙏
I had thyroid cancer I got from my mom and just had surgery and I’m like 14
How old are you now...and hows your treatment?
Stress in child hood and minerals missing.most woman get it after child birth.and living in a mining area.and knowing how much idione to take.
I have never been overweight and I am still not, I loose weight at the drop of hat. So can that be the that cause of kidney cancer as well.

I was waiting for them to say something about leaving it untreated. The mass has grown significantly since the first FNA in 2006 when it was benign. In 2017, another FNA determined that the mass had increased in size and was now cancerous. Surgery and any form of radiation, which were both aggressively recommended, takes me out of work. I cannot afford that, and my insurance is difficult. It wasn't then, but two weeks after dx I was terminated from my job. I've had to ignore this for 4 years. I just need to know how long until my trachea and esophagus are at risk for compression. At this point, it's deviating them. I wheeze and cough constantly. I go through bouts of lethargy, night sweats, extreme mood swings, my hair is falling out. But until I win the lotto, I'm stuck with it. Nurses simply cannot take weeks off to be treated for anything. We are responsible for taking care of others. Never ourselves.
Sorry to hear. There are other treatment options like ethanol ablation and thermal ablation. It costs 4-5k with no insurance. At least in California. I have a thyroid nodule at the moment waiting for fna . But I read treatments to shrink nodules and cancer before my fna. Hope this helps.

Leave the cancerous US for a country that has free medical treatments. You people pay enough taxes to gain free medical. If it can be achieved in most countries in the world less wealthy the US for sure can be achieved also there. Greediness and money been stolen from governments and corporations lying in the same bed prevent free healthcare. Billions spent in useless aircraft carriers, submarines, jets, missiles and weapons to kill and the populations left at home without healthcare.
hi...I hope you are doing well. I'm also an RN. I just had a total thyroidectomy , left neck dissection, removal of left internal jugular vein....my trachea was deviated 11 mm, left laryngeal nerve was involved too. so I have a permanent hoarse voice with left vocal cord paralysis. they also removed skeletal muscle on my neck . I was diagnosed in Oct 23....had surgery Nov 23....just had radioactive iodine tx. waiting to get full body scan.i do have multiple lymph nodes involved left and right neck. also lung mets.....they told me I probably had thyroid cancer for 10 to 15 yrs....I never had symptoms until I lost my voice.....
oh...I had genetic testing done and have braf and ret gene mutations....now my children need to be tested for this. I wouldn't wait to have tx. on my ultrasound the tumor was right next to carotid artery. would have eaten through it
I personally think thyroid cancer progresses from the removal of tooth, then neck pain and then thyroid cancer. We should do a survey of all patients having thyroid cancer and find out when they have removed any tooth.
Can you tell me what are the risks that effect hyperthyroidism?
It wasn't easy for me caring for my family because i had Hypothyroidism I almost gave up then a friend of mine introduced me to Dr. Isibor on youtube who cured me with his natural herbal medicine I'm much better now thanks to dr isibor.....
@@qwinrichmond1694 shut up! This is a serious subject. Go away.
All females in my family one daughter so far
Look up parasite cancer
I know a lot of fat and obese people who have never had any type of cancer
I know many that had heart disease though and needed a coronary bypass or stands.... They can hardly do any activities now... Better eat less, fasting, close our mouth and try to be lean as much as we can.... 😑
I had thyroid cancer at 15 no real reason for why it was caused maybe bc I had braces or used led therapy on acne
How are you now?
yeah like i'm suppose to understand all this?
I understood it.
It was in plain English. So as long as you’re an English speaker you should be able to understand them perfectly well.
5:00 in obesity??
No wayyyy
What about health at all sizes!?
Great video so far. Thank you
Dr. Livhits would be perfectfor thyroid surgery coz she got small hands...
Smh
Cell towers came on board if you look at this graph when cell towers were put up!!!!!!!
#DREHIMARE
Ok, but can guy be sick from this
Yes, absolutely!
Yes. It is more common in women, but men get it too.
i want a surgeon with small hands not bigones...
BLOCKED, you are a jerk.
Too much makeup and birth control pills, weight loss diets, supplements, stress are the factors as well.
Damn, number 666
