Hi there, have you heard back? Did they give you a different grading?

i experienced something slightly similar but not exactly. I have 2 nodules on either side of my thyroid. First doctors did the biopsy of one nodule that they didn’t like - it came back as thy3f. MDT recommended hemi thyroidectomy. I was in total shock and asked for second opinion. In another hospital they didn’t check my nodule but were concerned about the nodule on the other side which came back as thy3f too. In that very day when I had the biopsy the radiologist and pathologist said to me your nodule looks benign to me. In couple of hours I got a different result. I really wonder how they reach a conclusion? Is it a matter of opinion? If so it’s very subjective. Because they identified two nodules with thy3f plbiopsy result - they now recommend TT. I’m devastated 

Hello, yes it was graded the same again THY3f and they removed it and it was cancerous, glad it's out now, I still have my left side and have lump in that one as well but was benign when they biopsied that. Honestly don't take any chances just get them out and get sorted, surgery is ok, takes a few days to recover and 2 weeks to fully recover but you'll be back in your feet in no time 

I’m sorry to hear it was cancer. Im glad to hear though that you receive quick!! 
hiw did you manage to keep one side of thyroid? Did they do biopsy during the operation? My doctors recommended total thyroidectomy. I’m really scared of having to depend on a pill for life

My left side lump was benign when they biopsied it, better to be on a pill than have cancer growing in your neck that's how I looked at it, I may still need theoxine because I have thyroid disease, I am waiting to hear what my last bloods came back at. Are both your lumps THY3f or what grading are they?

It really is a matter of opinion as the multi disciplinary radiographer  said he thought mine was ok and would have only clased it as U2 and not U3 which is why I got the biopsy in the first place, if he had if been the first person to look at my thyroid lumps I would still have them ithe cancerous one in my neck which is quite a scary thought 

Oh, so the biopsy on one was benign, but the other one thy3f. My nodules are on both sides and both are thy3f. Hence the TT. If I knew it were cancer I would go for surgery. In my case I do not have a diagnosis. That makes it very hard to make a decision. I’ve never in my life been on any medication. 

I’m glad you’re doing well though

Yeah it's a tough decision, hard to know what's best, hope you get sorted 

Hello, I'm new to this, very recently diagnosed and having thyroid removed and neck dissection tomorrow. I'm really anxious, so you have any tips how to help recovery? 

Hiya, I’m new too. My operation will be at the end of March. I have honestly no idea!! I only read people recommended v shaped pillows and to take painkillers you are offered. I’m just relaying what other people said though. I guess try to be calm! If possible ️ ️! Best wishes! Will be thinking of you tomorrow! You will be fine! X

The recovery is fine, you will be sore for a couple of days but I was eating and drinking the same day, get them to give you good pain killers on your overnight stay, morphine and IV paracetamol worked well for me, good luck
