Living with cancer Tired

Tired

Offline Jaylee over 3 years ago

I had half of my thyroid removed 6 weeks ago and I am apsolutly exhausted all the time. I'm sleeping constantly.

I have also been told that when they removed the thyroid there was more cancerous nodules. Which they beleave will be on the other half as well.

I don't know if to have the surgery to remove the whole thyroid or if to monitor it.

I'm super stressed about it all atm I have no idea what to do.

Any advice please would really help.

Hello Jaylee,
Welcome to Cancer Chat and I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling. It's also important that you share your questions and concerns with your consultant, if you haven't already, hopefully they'll be able to address them. There some infomation on living with thyroid cancer and tiredness and cancer, which I hope might be useful. If you'd like to speak to our team of cancer nurses about anything, you can for free on 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Best wishes to you,
Moderator Anastasia
