Two large thyroid tumors: doctors advise urgency

I would opt for a total removal. I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer during a separate surgery for tongue cancer. Thyroid cancer was found in a lymph node removed during that first surgery. My thyroid had tested negative on several needle biopsies. But somehow the thyroid cancer had left the thyroid and spread to my lymph nodes. My point to you is, I would take it out before it has a chance to spread elsewhere.

Most of the information I have received recommend total removal, for the reason you mentioned. Some suggest, with the proper custom diagnosis and understanding of my personal makeup, family history and expert surgery that I might still keep some of my thyroid and function, which I would prefer, even if I would have to use thyroid supplements there after. Thank you for your input.
