Hi @cincarna, I hope @armichic will answer your question about the vertigo resolving. In the meantime, I wanted to welcome you. How is recovery going? Is the dizziness subsiding?

I have a 4CM tumor that was apparently not seen when I had a total thyroidectomy. Problem is it is hiding behind my left clavicle and pushing on my carotid artery , trachea and esophagus. My ENT surgeon wants to remove it (it was found to be Benign even though I had a miniscule amount of carcinoma in my thyroid when they removed all of it) -BUT of course they missed this growth that was laying low. I can't sleep flat and haven't been for quite awhile because the growth interferes with throat and sleeping so I sleep sitting up all the time. I'm very light headed when I bend down and actually have loud ringing in my ears that I can avoid during the day but not at night. I did have a vertigo attack a couple years ago and whenever I feel it coming on I take meclicine and it works. So My surgeon has a vascular surgeaon thoracic surgeon that will both in the surgery with him since the location is difficult. I go for a second opinion to see what they can tell me. Of course I am hoping they can shrink the tumor and not do surgery or shrink it and suck it out but right now it sounds like remove clavicle or open sternum since it reaches to the sternum. How did you have your tumor removed and where was it?? Did you have to have your sternum opened or clavicle removed? Seems rather radical to me but I get it since its been growing since I had the rest of my thyroid removed. Not sure after all the CT scans I've had and all the times I
ve mentioned prolems with swallowing and light headedness why this wasn't caught before the total thyroid was removed. I'm sure it was there at that time.
