Hello @devil4ever and welcome to Mayo Connect. It is great that you are seeking more information about your thyroid tumor. I see that you posted in the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) support group. Has a biopsy confirmed that this tumor is a neuroendocrine tumor? I ask because it is rare (although not impossible) for a NET to be found in the thyroid.

If this tumor has not been confirmed as a NET, you might want to post your question about your thyroid tumor in the following discussion group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/thyroid-cancer/. Here you will find many people who have discussed their thyroid surgery and may provide some helpful information for you.

Have you had thyroid problems for a long time?
