Definitely go to surgeon who has experience with thyroid cancer. A lobectomy might be an option instead of complete removal… why remove the entire organ when you might be able to keep half and not need Synthroid. Try not to worry unnecessarily; 5-10% chance of HCC is pretty low. However, based on what I have read since I was diagnosed with having HCC, a surgeon with experience in it would be good. Good luck!
