I went ahead and removed both left and right.scar is barely noticeable at all .Didn't want to continue to 2nd guess myself or doctors..and worry about possibly getting cancer in the remaining lobe.Since I was already on Armour thyroid, have increased the dosage twice trying to find the ideal #.It'll take some time, but okay with it.my calcium levels have been low, so chewing on a couple of tums daily also..Have more energy & motivation.been walking an average of 12k steps a day again and back to the gym..
