Thyroid Cancer

hi, 
 I have been going through a tough time and would like to chat to those of you who are going through similar.

I have just had an operation for thyroid cancer, awaiting results and what is next?
I May need another operation and radiation therapy 
Had my operation on the 10th June 2020 after a very long wait due to this terrible Covid pandemic many operations and treatments have been delayed sadly!

A lump was found in my Thyroid after a routine scan of my ongoing lung problems and was told on the 2nd March at hospital appointment, which was a bit of a shock when CANCER was mentioned! On the 27th April I had a scan and 5 Biopsies done and the results came back as 2 lumps and T3 which means it could be Cancer, so then I had a very long wait for my operation which was on the 10th June to remove 1/2 my Thyriod and also the middle part(can't remember name of it) post operation was quite painful, but it is settling down now
Would like to talk to people who are going through similar, maybe we can help each other through this x

    Hello Missymay, 

    I hope you are recovering well from your operation and that you won't have to wait too long for your results. It must have been really frustrating for you to have had to wait so long for your operation due to Covid but it's good that they have managed to do it in the end and I am pleased to hear the pain is settling down now. 

    Hopefully you will hear from others here who have been through something similar and they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. If you use our 'search' function which is located on the blue banner at the top and type in keywords such as 'thyroid cancer' or 'thyroid surgery', you will be able to find past threads on this topic. Feel free to respond to the ones you feel are most relevant to you and you would like to connect with. 

    Fingers crossed that you won't need to wait too long for your results and that you find out soon what the next treatment steps might be. Our nurses are only a free phone call away so don't hesitate to get in touch with them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
