Thyroidectomy for cancer was incomplete

Hi Nancy,
I’m so sorry to hear you are having to go thru all of this. It sounds like a botched mess! I’m in Canada and our rate of malpractice is much lower for many reasons. However, I had a serious incident in which I launched a malpractice suit regarding thyroid cancer. It is not for the faint of heart and the whole process (4yrs) took a huge toll especially during a time when I was feeling ill. The doctor’s lawyers will drag you thru the mud, bring up EVERYTHING in your life that is vaguely negative but not related. My suggestion if you pursue ( no pun intended lol), that you do your homework and gather all the support you can manage, great lawyer, family and friends. Best of luck. It’s an expensive, exhausting process.
💕
PS.. if I can help with questions please ask.

Thank you so much for your response! I’ve heard from others too that it is really rough, stressful and time consuming. I’ve had 3 lawyers reject my case so far. I don’t think i have the energy to do it . And i need to overcome all the symptoms that came with damaged parathyroid glands. I read that taking calcitriol and high doses of calcium long term can cause kidney failure and brain calcifications. But that PTH replacement can reduce those dosages and result in less terrible side effects.
Have you heard about this? I am between doctors at the moment due to my endocrinologist ditching me for asking questions. My new endocrinologist appointment isn’t until February so I’m having a hard time finding someone to help me with all of this in the meantime. Feeling weary right now, but I know that I have God‘s covering And he’s been close and helping me to have peace.
Thank you, again ,❤️
Nancy
