    My mom went through it. It was very difficult for 6 months with many defficiency like calcium, potassium and magnesium. She stayed in only in hospital for 1 month, however after 7 months everything is going good, we filmed many videos in the process to keep her entertained and create memories but now she goes to work and feels very normal. Don't worry, it will be fine for you.

      Do NOT look for an answer from doctors. All they have to sell is operations and poison. Thats it. Nothing else. They are salesmen! Know that! They are there only to make money off of you and lots of it. Poison brings in A LOT Of $. They do not care whether you live or die or if you are happy or miserable. They just want to sell you what they have and it doesn't work. Please look into a more homeopathic way to live with your cancer. I have found a wonderful way to live with my cancer without money hungry doctors getting all my money as they destroy my quality of life.
      Please take my advice, stop going to doctors. They will only hurt you further, They will not help you.

      ​@@aliyahossaini8772Hi there! I'm a 28 year old man who had cancer removal surgery back in June. The main symptom for me personally was a very large lump forming on one half of my neck. It's rather noticeable but if you're your younger most doctors assume it's a lipoma (that's what happened to me). If you notice a mass in your neck, get it seen by a physician or an ear, nose and throat doctor. Never be afraid to get a second opinion.

      I had my entire thyroid removed back on July 16 and now I am in the hospital waiting for a radioactive pill treatment to have any remaining thyroid tissue killed off. I had a blood test done and the reading came back with a 2.6 indicating that some tiny bit of thyroid tissue is still present in my body. So this radioactive treatment should kill off the rest. The doctor thinks it might still be localized in my throat.

    Must be nice to feel completely normal after your surgery. I had my thyroid completely removed over 2 years ago and my life has been a living hell ever since. I was put on 175mcg of levothyroxine and within a week after my surgery I was waking up in the middle of the night with heart palpitations, anxiety, rashes, and all sorts of other problems. It has taken over two years but now my medication had to be switched to Synthroid because my tolerance of changes in dosage are extreme. I have to swap a 100mcg one day and take an 88mcg the next. On 100's I feel like Im dying and on 88 its not much better. The difference of an .5 and .8 tsh level is night and day for me. I am no longer waking up in the middle of the night but I feel no where near as good as I did before my surgery, I would have rather lived with the cancer at this point and died early to it than live the life Im living now. My digestive system is a complete wreck and cant eat or drink anything without a severe autoimmune response. Wish they could figure out what is wrong with me but Ive been to about 12 endocrinologists and none of them have been any help. I wish you all the best with this surgery but I advise you to get 2, 3 or even 4 opinions before you do, I wish I had.

    I'm curious as to a follow-up on this? Did she have more lymph nodes that got infected later (after this recording)? I'm going to be having this same surgery done and the doc so far says he doesn't believe any of the lymph nodes are infected at this point but I know that can change as time goes on (hopefully not but it seems it can). I mean he said I don't have any swollen lymph nodes and no issues regarding them (they don't cause issues) but that doesn't necessarily mean they're cancer free, and I guess the bloodwork will tell the truth after the surgery.
    My concern I guess is it coming back in the future and also the side effects? Most people I have read comments from seem to say that they've had issues or it took 1-2 years to get back to mostly normal, which is concerning to me. Being slightly fatigued I can live with (lived with that for many years being under stress from various things), But I'm still a little concerned because I don't want to be so fatigued I can't do basic stuff like go on walks or otherwise exercise or do daily things. If it's one thing like they feel they can't play sports anymore or high-aerobic activities on a regular basis, then that's another thing, as I don't participate in sports or anything like that, but do want to make sure I have enough energy to continue my overall health regime which includes regular exercise (mostly walking with some weight lifting -- not hardcore weight lifting like benchpressing, but generall at-home weights).

    • @HR-wd6cw
      @HR-wd6cw 2 місяці тому

      Yeah that was a bit puzzling. I thought that they give you some type of fluid so they can detect infection in the lymph nodes and then remove the ones that come up cancerous as I've heard of people only having one or two removed after tests, so why they decided to remove and then test is a bit puzzling and I'd question the doctor on that procedure. My understanding was they remove them as they are discovered to be cancerous but we don't know the credibility of the surgeon or healtchare team so that may be a factor. Some doctors may decide to take the "broad" approach and remove more than what is perhaps necessary. A good doctor will do the tests and try to narrow down the issue and only remove what is needed, UNLESS it's possible that it was that they were concerned the one lymph node was at a bad state/stage that infection of nearby nodes was very high, then it might make sense. But I'm not a doctor but also that's not how my surgeon (and most research I've done) says it's to be done. Usually it's narrowed down to the ones in question unless it's a bigger problem (like in one case I read about where the cancer cells was trying to get out of the node and spread and was deemed aggressive so they had to remove it).

      Why would they choose iodine therapy as a first step? Generally that's only used AFTER surgery has been performed if the problem persists or comes back? I find that a bit odd. Most Dr's I've talked to said that many patients (in their experience) don't need RAI and it's only done after removal (partial or full removal).

      @@reflectionsinthebible3579 I honestly feel the cancer never really goes away but may go into remission and not show up again (meaning cells may still be in your body but they don't really multiply or cause issues) although supposedly your body does deal with cancer cells -- it's a problem when they begin to grow rapidly and the body cannot handle them but again supposedly your body can try to fight them off, as I suspect everyone has "random" cells in their body that are mutated but that the body tries to remove them as part of your immune system. However also consider people's other potential issues too. Some people may have other conditions that make them more succeptible to redevelop cancer later (such as other diseases, not following Dr's perscriptions or going back to the doctor to get regular check-ups, etc)? I have to have this same procedure done myself and this is one of my concerns, but I told myself that (1) I want the cancer out (So Iam getting the procedure done -- in my case, full removal) (2) I will follow-up with the doctor regularly and do the required work (and take the required meds). But keep in mind there may be other factors. For all you know, these people didn't follow-up until a problem arose. There are some regular tests your doctor can do to catch it hopefully in early stages if resurgence does happen. I guess the other thing is that while it's common to worry about it, worrying excessively about it can make things worse in some cases, cause more stress on your body, etc. The way I look at it is while it is concerning, and I don't know what the future is, we are where we are, and we move forward from here. There's no sense overly worrying about "what could happen" because it may or may not happen, but the big thing is to address things as they come up, do your regular visits with your doctor, and take it from there. I think some people are sometimes advised to avoid the surgery in the earlier stages and just monitor, but that may be some bad advice and may increase your changes of it coming back even after removal, so my thing is to take care of it as soon as it's discovered.

      Herbal treatment is 98% guarantee for disease/ viruses & cancer cure, the reason why most people are finding it difficult to cure these disease/infection is because they believe on medical report, drugs and medical treatment which is not helpful to cure it. Natural roots/herbs are the best remedy which can easily eradicate health related issue totally. that am very sure off, because I was cure from 6years thyroid cancer, via herbal medication from Dr.hopkins.. for more information about virus ilness or any other incurable illness write Dr. Hopkins for any health challenge

    I have a scar from my 2 surgeries. I had thyroid cancer 12 years ago. Luckily it didnt spread. I now take 88mcg levothyroxine. I hate the hairloss from it. I get tired easily so i dont work as much at age 52. Ive slowly gained weight and cant seem to get rid of it. Im 5 ft. 1 inch so i gotta watch what i eat and walk a lot daily. I recovered quickly after surgery but my voice got weaker after that.

    I too had a total thyroidectomy back in 1990 (Thyroid cancer). I do feel muscle ache & pain . Joint pain as well. I feel tired a lot but most of the time with exercise & a healthy diet I feel good.
    I still have a good physique but am now 20 pounds over my combat weight (190 lbs) ideally 170lbs is good for me.
    Life is still good after surgery so stay positive & don't let it stop you from doing or enjoying your life. Meds for it ( Levothyrxine) work great.

      You'd wanna pay for them however you could bc your basically taking a fake thyroid , it's the control center in your body . You'd feel awful. You could go to a store and by Armor which is used for the thyroid and made from pigs thyroid. But it didn't help me , I gained tons of weight and felt pretty bad . I've heard it works for some but I'm one out of the 10 or more that hasn't done well without my thyroid .. they also found another tumor, carotid body tumor right before surgery which was going to eventually kill me by age 50..

    You should be ashamed of yourself for advertising for a cancer center! I have had a thyroidectomy 5 years ago and my life and who I am is unrecognizable because of the synthroid I am now forced to take and because of the permanent after effects of radiation, twice! The experience has been horrifying. My Advice..don't let a doctor remove your whole thyroid if possible. Always get a second opinion and even a third. All doctors want to do is make money off of you with what they are selling, poison and surgeries! Shame on YOU for advertising for them!

      @@Armaninabz Mira, I strongly urge you to get a second opinion to see if it is only detected on one side. If it is, don't let them take both sides and force you on fake thyroid hormones for the rest of your life. That is a nightmare. Your body can function fine with one side. Also, if the first iodine radiation doesn't work, dont let them do anymore after that. By the second dose it ruined my ears and my eyes from the radiation and none of the many doctors take any responsibility for it so it remains unfixed, even if it IS fixable after the radiation has done its permanent damage.
      Get a second opinion. And understand they care Nothing about the quality of your life. Hopefully you won't have to find that out by making the same mistake I did...trusting them.

      @@Armaninabz What happened to my ears was about two months into my second iodine radiation treatment I woke up one morning and my eyes felt like glue (no tear ducts working) and my ears were ringing very loud. All doctors denied that it could be from anything they did, ordered or prescribed. I've been to every kind of doctor and they see the problem but no one can fix it or admit how I got it. Can't be around loud music or even have a breeze in my face anymore without sufferieng terribly so I have become a hermit. I lost my life. I know now it was because of the radiation because thats when it all happened.
      Doctors will poison you and never admit when it causes perminant damage. Instead, they like to view themselves as your saving angels when all they are really doing is poisoning you for a hell of a lot of money. Radiation and chemo (both poison) is selling like hot cakes! And the doctors couldn't be happier about it. After all, its making Their life GREAT!
