Tonsillectomy & neck lymph node removal at the sometime surgery

Hi there. I take synthroid, 75 mcg. It varies and I have it monitored every 6-12 months. Side effects haven’t been the toughest part but losing an organ pronto does put the body into a tail spin. Aches and pains and mood swings…little by little it seems to regulate.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask questions.

Hi @planetsunrise & @chebo1954,
In 2008 I was officially Stage IVB T2N3M0 on left tonsil caused by HPV and one of my 3 infected lymph nodes was over 7cm and that is not a typo. I had 35 rounds of radiation which amounted to 70 Gy and 3 rounds of the platinum-based chemo Cisplatin and had no surgery.
A year later was put on Synthroid 125 mcg as my thyroid was completely damaged from my chemo/radiation treatments. So, I have been on it for 16 yrs. and have my level (TSH) tested with my PCP through a blood draw every year with my annual physical and it is no problem.
Hope that helps.

Hmm, those aches & pains plus mood swings are all some of the many side effects of .75mcg of synthroid which I’m presently taking as my hypothyroidism is a side effect of my Optivo immunotherapy that I use to get for treating my stage 4 lung cancer. Thank you, Robert
