Hi, I recently got diagnosed with thyroid cancer and am having surgery to take the whole thyroid out next week. I have 3 kids and this has blindsided us all.
I just wanted to wish you good luck for your surgery next week. I can imagine it is a stressful time for you but I wish you a speedy recovery.
We have some information on thyroid cancer on our website which you can access here. More specifically we have detailed information on the surgery which you can read here. It includes some useful tips on how to prepare for the surgery, what happens on the day and also after the surgery.
I hope you will also get to talk to others here who have had thyroid cancer surgery and treatment. I had a little look around the forum for you and found [@KarenH] could be a good person for you to chat to. You can have a look at her thread here and feel free to respond to it if you wish.
If you click on 'Search Forum' at the top and enter thyroid cancer you will be able to see other threads that might be relevant to you and you can respond to any that you feel would be helpful to you.
We'll be thinking of you next week. Do come back and let us know how it all went when you have a chance to update us.
