Thanks. I'm just waiting for them to call for when surgery is going to be. It could be right away are in April. Very scared.

Yes, schedule surgery but also definitely get second opinions from surgeons and endocrinologists.
You will gain some knowledge from theses meetings and that will help alleviate some of the fear and anxiety
All the best to you

I had a thyroid tumor removed. Thankfully, it was not cancer but I will tell you, of all the surgeries I have had for other issues, this was the easiest. No throbbing pain; just soreness and you will use ice for awhile. Good luck and be calm. Oh, and my friend had thyroid cancer 35 years ago and is fine today.
