Hi All! In 2021 (48 yrs), I had a mini stroke in May, which the doctors were still trying to determine. (Some docs doubted it to be one type of Migraine.) And in the process of those findings, noticed the swollen nodules. So, I had an ultrasound done in July and FNA done in September 2021, while I was going through the pain in my throat which ran through my right ear. It came out to be Follicular neoplasm. So, the ENT specialist advised me to get lobectomy done. My right lobe and isthmus were taken out. It was in this October surgery they confirmed that I did have cancer on the right side. So they asked me for TT. In Nov, I got it done. I have been having my ups and downs - moods swings, gaining weight, hair thinning, fatigue, cramps in chest, muscle pain, reduced Vit D, heat/cold intolerance. I am taking levothyroxine which is now increased from 50-100-130 to now 150 but I am still feeling pain in my throat, pain running to left ear now, numbness in ear (similar symptoms to when they had discovered cancer last time), fatigued on and off. This feeling, few months ago, came and went away, but it is back now. My doc has asked me to do a thyroglobulin and TSH check again in 2 weeks. I also feel pain in some spots in my chest. And am having slight trouble breathing (my nose is blocked since over a month also) and I do get phlegm occasionally. I am wondering if there is a chance that cancer is back in my throat.
@prags, how are you doing? Did you have further testing to confirm or rule out a possible recurrence? Thinking of you.
