Dear thyroid friends.

I am post op complete thyroidectomy now 2 weeks. I met with the surgeon to review pathology of the tumor. I will continue with a 3 doctor team - endocrinologist, medical on oncologist, and radiologist. These doctors will decide on the future treatments. It is likely I will need radioactive iodine in a few months. The thyroid was very large and stuck to my windpipe and voicebox. Therfore, some tissue was left behind.
I am a patient at MSK in NYC. My surgeon specializes in thyroid cancer. I have been in good hands.
