Hi my name is Ally. I have just completed my complete removal of my Thyroid gland. I was scanned and had two nodules, one small at the front of my gland. The other nodule. Was scanned at 5cm which had grown further before the surgery. My gland and nodules were biop and I was informed two days ago it was Papillary Cancer. My team are meeting this Tuesday 15 October and my meeting to discuss the plan they have devised going forward.
my scar is looking great and with only the lump under it really showing anything. I have retained a deeper cough and after a week a sore throat though this could be surgical due to airway, I suffer from restricted airway and the process of GA was a bit intense before putting me under even with the camera and tubing to guide. My main issue is tiredness, my stamina is reduced and walking is still curtailed to short trips. I did take blood thinners and these stopped my frontal headaches as soon as they stopped my headaches returned. When they get over obtrusive I go light headed my legs go rubber and feel terrible. Is this typical of this recovery. Regards Ally
