My ex-wife had thyroid cancer...she had a total thyroidectomy...during the procedure the dr accidently removed 2 parathyroid gland and the other 2 were destroyed. parathyroid glands control the body's calcium levels. she has to take a calcium supplement for the rest of her life now. also, they didn't even get all of the cancer it had spread to her lymph nodes so she is still dealing with it. Now i definitely don't mean to scare you, but i think before anybody has any type of surgical procedure done they should know all risks associated with said procedure. I assume the dr has talked to you about thyrogen or some type of artificial thyroid hormone. this pill will also become a life-long medicine. make sure you take questions with you to the dr and don't be afraid to ask anything. if you don't like what you are hearing or you think he might be sugar-coating things, then you could seek a second opinion. get well informed before the surgery one question: did they perform a biopsy on the nodules? my thoughts and prayers are with you.
