Hello dr. My mom was diagnosed with thyroid cancer She so nervous . Her next appointment is in couple of weeks to discussed her surgery. She is 71 years old. Is she in high risk . She had two pap remove already and half thyroid remove . Now she has to remove the last two pap and the rest of her thyroid . . How long will be her recovery . I know after her surgery , she has to take pill for the rest of her life . I told my mom. If if was so serious, he would have scheduled a surgery sooner . She just feel scared and me to cause of the words cancer. But her doctor told my sis , the type she has it curable . What her recovery time because she is 71 years old.
IF the cure rate for thyroid cancer is 99.9% in most cases why does follow up have to continue for a lifetime? After five or ten years, as long as nothing adverse occurs, can't it be discontinued?
I'm not a doctor, but I'm about to get my Thyroid completely removed due to cancer, My buddy has had the same thing happen, He has to have life long follow ups to Check for cancer coming back ( that can happen with any cancer to my knowledge ) But they also have to check your Hormone levels, and a bunch of important stuff that your thyroid use to do, with my buddy Everyone is different but for him, he has to constantly get hormones checked, and it constantly needs to be adjusted. And the body ages and changes so do the need for more or less hormones. I hope this helps.
@@Zenzaiplays I wish you luck with the surgery. On November 7th of last year I had the left lobe and isthmus of my thyroid removed due to a huge nodule, but fortunately all was benign. I had the surgery done at the Clayman Thyroid Center in Tampa, FL by Dr. Gary Clayman. It was my first surgery in my life but it wasn’t bad at all. General anesthesia is so deep that I felt like I was never out. A nurse put a mask on my face in the operating room and asked me how I felt. Then suddenly I realized that the person asking me how I feel was not the nurse who put the mask on. It was the recovery room nurse and the surgery was over. But it’s like I never was asleep.
@@ИгорьИжщенков I've been through Dozens of surgeries in my life from a Really bad car accident. Unfortiontately for me all testing showed it was cancer that's why were moving with this surgery. I am happy that they scheduled it literally a week away from results.
@@ИгорьИжщенков Well, went through the surgery, they sent the thyroid out along with some Lymnodes, 8 of the 10 came back cancer, basically I have Invasive papilary Carcinoma Follicular variant, with a very small hint of normal papilary carinoma so now I gotta get more tests done and a full body scan fun times haha..
