Hi I have medullary thyroid cancer diagnosed 10/19. I had a total thyroidectomy 12/19 .i am currently on 100 mcg of levothyroxine and will be getting some scans and blood work in the upcoming weeks. I don’t know what to expect, how to feel and overall having great anxiety. It would be extremely helpful to chat with people with this disease

Hi @lindameyerson, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'd like to bring @lbhoffman into this discussion. She has also had medullary thyroid cancer. While diagnosed with a different type of thyroid cancer, I'm sure that @bobr @sophia07 @jessea @nancirae and @nobody can also share their experiences and help answer your questions about what you can expect.

Linda, it is completely normal to feel anxious about the unknown. Do you know if you will have further treatment like radiation, chemo or targeted therapies? How are you doing with the levothyroxine? Have you had to adjust the levels?
