Wow! That is a difficult history! Having thyroid tissue growing back is often mentioned, so I tend to think it is more common than we realize…..it seems odd but the body is an amazing organism! Since you changed from “your norm” to having hyperthyroidism, it would appear the thyroid tissue must have caused things to change. Considering your father’s history, it seems like you should follow what the doctor’s say after they monitor it for a little while. The monitoring time will give you the time to feel healthier, in the event they recommend more surgery. Since you are going for frequent scans, the doctors will be able to see if the tissue is growing quickly, which they say is often an indicator of cancer. I wish I knew God’s plan to comment on miracles but he keeps his plans to himself, so we have to try and go with the experts advice and how we feel. It sounds like you have a good plan in place with monitoring and trying to feel stronger before having surgery, so if the doctors recommend surgery, you will be ready. Good luck!

I too have had thyroid cancer, and I waited until the thyroid issues became cancerous. I only had the cancer on one side of the thyroid at that time. My doctor informed me that he was going to remove both sides because if one side is cancerous. The other will become cancerous as well. Given your family history, Trust God and get the new growth out of your throat so it will not turn cancerous as well. I was informed by my doctor that on rare occasions thyroid can grow back as well as the cancer. I would not waste time on this. I hope this helps.
