Hi @littleoreo2021, I wanted to check in on you. I see that your surgery has been scheduled for the end of April, but that you've been referred to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist first. You mention scar tissue.

Have you seen the ENT specialist? What type of surgery will you have? Lobectomy to remove a lobe of thyroid or a thyroidectomy to remove the whole thyroid?

I'm supposed to have my thyroid removed and on my left side of my neck have a lymph removed. Then take a radiation pill.
