Feeling so down - more illnesses found and delaying op

My specialist called yesterday to say my blood results from last week came back to say that I have hyperthyroidism and they would need to postpone the op until that was under control.  They are also saying I might have thyroiditis.  This list of illnesses is just getting longer and longer

  • Hello Sammy1978, 

    Oh no poor you! I hope that they can get the hyperthyroidism under control and that you can then have your operation sorted quickly. 

    I can completely understand why this is making you feel so down but I am sure that it's only a matter of time before you can have your surgery. If you have any questions or wanted to talk to our nurses about it, they have a free helpline you can ring on 0808 800 4040 - you can call it Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
