Just wondering - exhaustion and thyroid cancer. Is it normal to have no energy?

Hi. I’ve had thyroid cancer operation on 30dec 2024. Waiting now for iodine treatment. 

is it usual to feel exhausted with no energy or motivation??

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Yes it is common to experience fatigue and other symptoms following thyroid surgery. This can persist until overall levels of the thyroid hormones become more stable.

    Hopefully the radio iodine treatment will help with this. You may be interested to know that The Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust provide useful information and support to people who have needed thyroid treatments.

    I hope you feel better soon,

    Best wishes,
