I'm 20 and I'm from Hungary. I had thyroid cancer, so the doctors removed both my thyroid gland and my parathyroid gland. I haven't had any problems since the surgery and I'm completely happy! I wish everyone perseverance and positivity.
I had tyrod removed because I was told it can be cancer ,almost 50 years yang , nodules I have got around they say need to be removed but after op. it was still there .Dr gave me thyroxine tablets a sad to me it can give me arthritis but it is better than cancer.I am now 20 years after and pain from arthritis is not nice I can tell.I know there are natural tablets instead chemical one but cost is enormous and I can not afford it.Even I know that natural one have not problem with arthritis.If I can go back I will newer go trough that operation.
@@Hobie2fly What natural non arthritis medicine are you referring to? I’m contemplating on the surgery. I decided not to have it two years ago because I didn’t want to be on medication the rest of my life, but I’m having heart palpitations. It also feels like I’m choking on food sometimes. I have 4 nodules on the left side. One was 3cm, but grew to 4cm over the last two years. A biopsy was supposedly done and it was benign. I will have another biopsy in a week. Please pray for me. I don’t want to be on that medication and I don’t want to have it removed. So, what supplements are you referring to that are costly?
@@Optimus19572 I know that exist natural hormone for thyroid , it is make from pigs and do not have side effect.That what I have got from Dr make in your body only T4and T3 ,natural one make most of what body normally making.But you have to find Dr who will give to you.I find naturopath but it is sooo expensive I can not afford it .Unfortunatelly.
God has the final answer. My doctor keep pushing surgery on my building mot getting surgery. I go for a scan Thursday of this week, I pray It's not cancer or any problems. God Is the answer. I pray all good health for all of you.
Finally someone who is experiencing what I am experiencing. I am so tired, I am not the same person, my energy is gone, my plans for the future is gone ... yet the doctors look at me as if I am imagining it all. I wish I had not had the operation, I was talked into it by my doctors. All I can say is if you don’t have cancer (mine was just enlarged) don’t, don’t, don’t do it.
YUP! 1 pill they said. Are you on T3? That should help make you feel better. If you just got it taken out, get on T3 NOW! I am on T3 and feeling better but my body has years of damage from improper dosing.
@@mscoable thank you very much for this advice, I have googled T3 and am reading it now. No one had told me about it, I really appreciate your advice, I will definitely get some and keep my fingers crossed it works for me. Yes had the thyroid out not quite 6 months ago
@@cee2615 -I would recommend you read stop the thyroid madness. She has a website with lots of information. You may have issues getting T3 from your endo as they tend to not like that med. You'll probably need to go to a functional medicine doctor or naturopath if they prescribe in your state.
I just had my left thyroid lobe removed and there was no cancer. (Happy for that aspect.) This endocrinologist said he would NOT perform a second FNA (1.5 years later) and said removal of my left thyroid lobe was the only suggestion he had to insure ‘no cancer was present. Presently, I’m three-weeks post surgery and am dizzy and sick…weak and now still can’t drive due to the dizziness and imbalanced feeling. The endocrinologist who told me to get it done has nothing to say about my daily ill-feeling. I’m going to try another endocrinologist at a nearby, larger-city clinic. Please pray a decent solution is found to relieve my dizzy/nauseous feeling I am presently experiencing. Am wondering if anyone has experienced this nauseous/dizzy feeling after their surgery and if it ever goes away!
Yes me too...please check your Vitamin B12 and D vitamin levels...I too had hemithyroidectomy later I felt somuch fatigue n depression also still now....my vitamin b12 and D vitamin are low...taking treatment for that
GEEEEEZ !!! After looking at this video and reading all these comments I'm scared shitless.!!! I go for my biopsy for a right thyroid nodule April 20th. I'm a active 57 year old,160 pounds 5'9 full of energy, active, love outdoors, love to travel, love spending time with my g-kids (3) Please GOD !! I pray that I don't have any of theses symptoms with ever out come it maybe :(..... If you are reading this PLEASE KEEP ME IN PRAYER. #irregularthroidsucks
I'm glad you are researching this because it's a big decision. I would consult with a thyroid specialist in homeopathic medicine asap. Your insurance won't cover it but who cares because anything is better than cutting it out. I have heard that there are certain things one can do to actually reduce the size of these nodules without cutting them out or taking liquid poison RAI.
I go to have Mines taken out as well the whole thyroid removed on the same day tomorrow matter fact April 20th and I'm scared as fuck praying with you 🙏🏾
I had total thyroid removed March 31, 2022. I have not experienced any problems. I got up walking the next day-went home the next day. I have been to track walking 2-3 miles daily. I have not gained any weight going on 4 weeks. I sometimes have hot flash and when I swallow it feels like something is stuck in throat. I am praying you do well. Sandra
@@sandramangrum4075 can you tell me more all these people are on some other mess. I'm going back to the doctor after 6 years of battle I think I'm done
Just reading this praying that everything turned out good for you Lee. I just went in today was told I had multiple nodules non cancerous but they recommended total thyroid removal. These comments have me concerned as well. 🤦🏾♂️
They said its ok because I'm now having no Thyroid cancer, but my life had a turn around in just few hours of that surgery. I'm alive but good for nothing. This is disability without showing 😭. Nobody understands, they think you are just lazy to do anything and you don't do much to make yourself feel better.
I’m sorry to hear you had a thyroidectomy for a benign nodule - prayers for you for increased energy and strength. Thank you for speaking out so that others would be able to find Afirma and get answers!
I'm a 38-year Thyroid Cancer survivor. Nobody ever told me what it would be like to live without a thyroid. It was all, "You're so lucky! You got the Good Cancer!" I can't imagine if I found out later it wasn't necessary (it was necessary for me.) It sure changes your life though. Fatigue, Brain Fog, Muscle Cramps, Depression, dry skin etc. All those medical people who told me this was a "good cancer" I appreciate that it's an easier cancer to treat, and I'm grateful for the medical people who cared for me in 1986, but I'd love to give you an opportunity to live a month in my skin and deal with living without a thyroid and see how enthusiastic you are about it then.
I had multiple nodules, several were calcified. I went in every 6 months for needle biopsies. The nodules continued to grow, the test results were always inconclusive. My maternal Aunt was dying from throat cancer. it wasn't from her thyroid, but if mine developed cancer it would of been in the same area and the same cancer. I had 2 different doctors and 2 different opinions. I opted to remove it! it's coming up on 4 years, still having to adjust my Synthroid. I gained weight around my middle I can't get rid of. my skin is wrinkly on my arms. I'm 68 and I made this choice. For me it was the right choice. I also had a parathyroid removed a year before that had turned into a tumor and was flooding my body with calcium. Good luck to all you and God bless! p.s. I was benign!
I have toxic multi module thyroid and it does everything from heart palpitations, brain fog, arrhythmia, weight gain. Everything. It's basically hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism because you get symptoms from both. My mom had hers removed and and she had energy out the wazo. She was a head cook in hot kitchen and went to the gym every day. If you don't need the surgery don't get it. If it's grown like mine and have multiple nodules that can produce so much hormone at one that you shake and your jaw tries to clamp and you're freezing. Maybe get it removed.
Exactly some people in the comments are really working my nerves I have hyperthyroidism so I basically like lose weight I don't have a high metabolism I'm sleepy don't have energy and I really want to work in law enforcement or going to the military after I graduate in December 2022. But before I even decide to apply for the military or anything I have to get my thyroid removed because I can't be on the job talking about I can't do the work because my thyroid is acting up so I'm going to have to get the surgery
Wow this comment was so enlightening. and had those symptoms but I just had part of my thyroid removed and I feel so much better! How’s your weight now? We’re you able to lose it ?
I'm the opposite,and was told mine is non existent,half the size it should be after 5-6 years of no meds helping,my Drs suggested I finally have removed, I've had Graves since I was 3months old, but I'm 47 and nothing has worked ,and I also have a herniated Muscle protruding through my neck , so they're gonna repair as Well as remove my thyroid, , I have to have an uptake test to determine where my levels are in my body
My mom went through it. It was very difficult for 6 months with many defficiency like calcium, potassium and magnesium. She stayed in only in hospital for 1 month, however after 7 months everything is going good, we filmed many videos in the process to keep her entertained and create memories but now she goes to work and feels very normal. Don't worry, it will be fine for you.
Sorry about your experience. I was diagnosed with an enlarged thyroid gland, multiple nodule goiter on the right in the mid 80s and being in the military, my hormone level was constantly monitored and adjusted when needed during my pregnancies. During the late 90s I was given radiation to destroy the gland, but for some reason I did not need hormone replacement because my levels were always "normal". However, I found out a few years ago that I also had nodules on the left side. My doctor's treatment for me was continued monitoring, but then I started to have pain on the right side of my neck. A biopsy was done and came back inconclusive, so another was done and came back normal. I decided to have a total thyroidectomy because some of the nodules were calcified, the pain and bulge in my neck on the right, and my trachea becoming crooked due the nodules pushing against it. Surgery is not for everyone, but you have to be you own health advocate because some medical professionals are not completely transparent. I'm now recovering from surgery 10 days ago, and except for fatigue, neck stiffness and stress that something negative is going to happen with my incision, I'm going okay! By the way, my paternal grandmother had a goiter the size of a grapefruit on her neck and I did not want that happening for me.
Doctors found two follicular neoplasms on my right lobe and are encouraging me to have a total thyroidectomy..strongly pushing back and considering other options..
It's been done for a long, long time - something seems wrong, so why not just remove the whole thing? I had a kidney tumor. One doctor suggested (without biopsy results) to just REMOVE THE ENTIRE KIDNEY. Wtaf. "You can live with just one kidney". THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I had a biopsy. The tumor was benign, so they abated it. No problem. When I was a teen, my mom was told there were "questionable cells" on her cervix. They did a complete hysterectomy. She immediately went into menopause. They could have left the ovaries to prevent that, but some surgeons just can't be bothered. You either get a doctor who does a surgical strike or you get one that's knife-happy.
So sorry! I had a different surgery because I was told I had cancer and didn't, so heartbreaking this happens to people!! Have a friend who had his thyroid removed and is now having moodiness, arthritis, gout, etc.. online searching for help. Cabbage juice helped so much for my brain fog but I'm not sure if he can have cruciferous vegetables after removal.
YUP! 1 pill they said. Are you on T3? That should help make you feel better. If you just got it taken out, get on T3 NOW! I am on T3 and feeling better but my body has years of damage from improper dosing.
I regret having mine took out, every day is a struggle , I didn't have cancer either, I feel like crap not every other day, every day , the Doctor always tell me my numbers are always high , nothing has ever changed when I take meds , 🙄
I had total thyroidectomy for benign nodules and it been 12 years and my life change for the worse. I’m suffering every day. I write this with tears running down my cheeks.
This is a paid ad by a business that does thyroid testing. Most people do just fine if they take the thyroid hormone replacement. RFA is now an option as well.
No one ever understands how difficult it is to have thyroid problems. I had mine removed when I was 19 years old (I’m 21 now) and it almost killed me. I couldn’t sleep, constant headaches, my thyroid had a nodule the size of a plum and was pushing my trachea over so I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t even get out of bed bc I was so tired. Now the only complication is my thyroid antibodies are too elevated no matter what I do which has caused chronic hives that I have to take allergy medicine for. It’s a debilitating thing and I wish everyone here good health and happiness❤
That happened to me also. I had mine removed in 2016 and no cancer just lumps, and it's a challenge for me because I feel everything you feel and my eyes got bad. I'm researching natural stuff because for some reason the medicine doesn't do well for me and they have long term side effects ☹️
Hi, i want to first thank you for your service. i have been watching many videos on thyroid surgery and thanks to your video, i now have my answer,thx. But be strong keep the faith and believe that everything is going to be alright. God Bless
I had my thyroid removed in same year....2016. All I hear from this video and what you say, I can fully relate with it as I am also a changed person since that time, no energy to fight for the daily life.
Hi. I had a gland in my thyroid 4 years ago, it was 10 times the size of a normal. After the surgery I couldnt sleep at all, so I know where you coming from! God bless you!
I know what your saying. I had my Thyroid removed and 2 Parathyroids. It wasn't Cancer either. I have to take Levothyroxine and Calcium for the rest of my life. My health is up and down. Life has changed. Get a good Doctor who Specializes in Thyroidectomy.
@R P same situation here..i got my neck ultrasound and two times of biopsy and found out 1.8 cm nodule in my left thyroid.my Dr said i have to take surgery to remove my thyroid and right now i am scared to do the sugery.
I was 16 years old when I find out I have hyperthyroidism now I'm already 22. Because of hyperthyroidism I developed rheumatic heart disease. It's really hard living with this disease, my physical appearance changed totally. My neck and legs are swelling, weight loss even though I eat a lot, tachycardia like 120 heart beats per minute, eyes sa swelling and bulging, I easily get tired, and a lot more symptoms. Im battling with this disease everyday. Before I look pretty with good body but now my physical appearance totally changed and It feels depressing 😓😞
This comment made me cry because this is exactly what I am going through, I also have rheumatic heart disease because of hyperthyroidism and i have the same symptoms and yes I also can't gain weight.

@@stephbwalya966 thank you for your comment, somehow I feel like I'm not alone. I don't know what's gonna happen to me in the future because of this sickness but I'm trusting everything that's gonna happen to our Lord Jesus. I'll also pray for you 🙏. Btw how old are you?
My thyroid was removed 5 months ago due to it being enlarged and my voice has never been the same since It is deeply frustrating and I have gone through rigorous speech therapy and even a nasal correction operation to help the vocal chords Has anyone else ever had such voice struggles?
Yes me! If I talk for a long time I have struggles. I had mine done when I was only 12 years old. The first days I was not able to talk, luckily my voice did come back but different than before.
My dr wants to do a total thyroidectomy because I have Graves Disease and hyperthyroidism. The medication didn't do anything to lower my levels and it was raising my liver enzymes. I really dont want to get the surgery but I do want these symptoms to stop. Anyone else have a total thyroidectomy due to Graves?
I had one yesterday I was hyper then hypo then back hyper. Do your research if you do take supplements with T3 in it because everyone say you are bound to gain weight and irs hard to lose weight without a thyroid hormone
Yes Dec of 2022. The Graves disease and large goiter were not getting any better from the Methimazole that most people are put on from Graves Disease. The palpitations....arrythmias, weight loss (only good thing) the heat intolerance, insomnia etc. Then about 4 months before I decided on the total thyroidectomy is when my gastro intestinal system went bazerk!! Nausea vomitting the worst!! So I had a thyroidectomy, no cancer. The weight gain and fatigue are awful. Im not sure i regret the surgery because I feel like with the heart arrhythmias alone and tachycardia, my heart couldnt take it much longer. But this fatigue is so awful!! Im sorry to all going thru this
The best way I try to explain it to people is that a regular person has a furnace to burn fuel to heat their house.. metabolism burning food to give the body energy.. in our cases ( thyroidectomy ) we have a hot plate as a furnace trying to burn energy ( food ) to heat up our house ( body ) that’s one reason why we stay cold now.. and to add insult to injury,,, they know we’re gonna gain weight so why not just prescribe us T3 ( active ) instead of T4 to convert over to T3??? !!
Its funny that right after being diagnosed with lyme i got hypothyrodism. I gain 35 lb in 3 weeks. I always was 128 the most. I never was able to gain weight. Now i cant stop it. Hypo and lyme have same symptoms
after watching this video i dont understand .. what i do bcoz last 12 years ago i had thyriod problam .. and now last 4 years i faced many problams.. like depression and stress level to much .. stamac problam .. skin problam .. intestine problam .. when i faced stamac problam last 2 yr in 2019 blood comes through washroom .. then i decide i do thyriod surgery .. but after this video .. what i do OhGod PLZZ help us ..
I am 29years old, no own family, single. I have found out that my nodules are enlrged a year ago. Doctor said I’ve had it probably long time ago “the nodules” but it only became visible now, all my thyroid functions are normal. T3/T4, but my body is confused with everything now, to heat/cold, whether to gain/loss weight. My throat doesnt hurt much but uncomfortable with the enlargment. Opting out for the surgery as there is no way I should be drinking medicine when it doesnt show any abnormalities. FNA showed benign, but , its getting larger fast. I don’t know what to do.
I'm in the same boat. Mine are growing. Already had half of thyroid removed due to goiter. No meds and normal blood work after surgery and no side effects....just some uncomfortable nodules grew on the other side. But I'm afraid to take the whole thing out since I have no other symptoms.
Currently 30 y.o and just had a partial right lobectomy on my thyroid. I was having high levels (hyperthyroidism) but had absolutely no symptoms just a 3cm nodule on my right thyroid that was big enough in size for doctors to be concerned as to how I wasn’t having a hard time breathing, swallowing, or eating. Even though I wasn’t showing any symptoms I believe it was best to remove it because I feel had I not I would’ve eventually began to feel those symptoms, I was a little let down that they couldn’t just ligate the nodule from the thyroid and I could keep both but because of the size there really wasn’t a way to do so. I am praying and hopeful that I will not need to be on medication for the rest of my life as long as my levels balance out on their own.
I just had my thyroids removed a complete so far so good I having been in any pain my throat is a little sore but I want eating cream potato the next day started off with a thyroid replacement and Tums but when I went back to the doctor he look me off and said my level of calcium was to high instead of being low so I saying with a whole lot of praying and a great doctor me and my body is bless.
Does anyone have major body cramps all over after their thyroidectomy? My husband lost his job and no insurance, I’m out of pills. I’ve experienced these cramps for the last year and half.
Could it help to take some medication for depression, I have bipolar, its depression on a high level and low level depression in another day. The medication has balanced me 95 0/0 it has been a miracle, I have some nodules that are being checked for cancer, but im still taking my medication. I have a psychiatrist doctor that gave me a GENOTYPE BLOOD TEST to subscribe me the correct medication. This breaks my heart, I will pray for you. When the thyroid is removed aren’t they supposed to give you some medication. There are doctors that have the knife itch and they just boom cut it out and check later. Im not doing this, even if I have some cancer, im going to see how I can keep an eye on it, a make sure thats its not growing. After a removal isnt is common procedure to give you a medication treatment for life. What meds are you taking? Please JESUS lead an guide your daughter to highest wisdom of your power, the person that you assign for her LORD, the Bible says that you are to go to your church and have the elders pray for you, an if you still have the problem then pray an look for a good specialist. Agape in CHRIST JESUS ❤
Are there areas that do the surgery without, oh I don't know, doing a biopsy first? Like yeah I had my Thyroid removed, and yeah I am still working on recovering though my medication is not right yet, but I had biopsies done on my Thyroid and on some inflamed lymph nodes first, where the thyroid came back as papillary cancer and the lymph nodes came back ok. While yes I 100% agree trying to recover from it is no fun and the side effects of not being properly medicated sucks royally, I can't imagine any credible doctor doing a total thyroidectomy without either it being due to extreme hyperthyroidism or in the case of cancer getting a biopsy first. Something seems very off with this story, almost like it is an advertisement, because while yes every symptom she explained is fully accurate, I can't imagine a doctor not doing a biopsy first, specially since to get approved from insurance I am sure insurance would require a biopsy for something like that. Now I could be wrong and maybe I just got very professional doctors, but still it doesn't sound right since there is no way a insurance company would approve a thyroidectomy without a biopsy or a diagnosis of extreme hyperthyroidism.
@@bryanbm2231 But was yours just removing to remove because it "might be" or was it removing to remove because regardless of if it was or not it was still enlarged or overactive enough to where it would be dangerous if it wasn't removed? You don't always have it removed purely due to cancer, sometimes you have it removed because it is dangerous regardless of cancer or not. If yours had a growth on it large enough to interfere with your breathing or causing hyperthyroidism they would have removed it regardless and then biopsied it during the surgery to see what the next steps should be. You don't just remove it because "it might be cancerous" without making sure something else isn't going on, but you would remove it without having to do a scan first if it is something that is a direct danger to your health. I highly doubt you had surgery without either having something dangerously large or you had a scan or test and just didn't realize how simple they are, wither it be a blood test coming back with extremely unsafe high levels of T4 or T3, or an ultrasound. I had gone in for something entirely separate, coughing up blood every hour for 7 weeks straight, and had a CT done to figure out what was going on with that when the thyroid stuff was found on it so that had nothing to do with the thyroid itself, I then had an ultrasound and blood drawn to see if it was suspicious or not which it did, I then had a FNA biopsy to confirm if it was our not which is a biopsy done with ultrasound. It was confirmed and then I had my surgery with a CT before hand just so the doctor knew what he was working with but that scan itself is definitely doctor personal preference. The only scan done for the thyroid directly before thyroid surgery was the ultrasound. Are you trying to say that you had no ultrasound, and no blood test and didn't have something large enough to endanger you, and they where just like "yup lets do surgery without making sure that is the problem first"? I am not saying you are lying, I am just curious is maybe what you think a scan is and what a scan really is are not the same and you did have a scan without realizing that is what it was since it is a simple ultrasound. And like I said if your thyroid is pressing on your airway or is causing you to have such a high hormone level that it is extremely dangerous for your health then you wouldn't need to do any scan, but this video was not talking about something like that.
Mine is being removed without biopsy. He wanted to do radiation but said it might not and it wouldn't shrink it and it's beginning to itch my throat so I told him I'd rather just remove it and be done. My mom had hers removed to
It’s not that simple. Biopsies sometimes come back non diagnostic or inconclusive. My afirma came back inconclusive and all my imaging staged my nodules at a TIRADS 4 which is 85% chance of cancer. With that coupled with my biopsies over the last 10 years with the last 2 years being inconclusive, the nodule changes, new nodules showing up, growth into other structures, and a family history of thyroid and neck cancers mine had to come out.
You can get back to where you was take you some tumoring and Ginger and ground black pepper with some honey and take it with the pill or the powder and I swear to you you'll start feeling better you have a beautiful family and a beautiful heart people don't always tell the truth sometimes it be about money and not the person keep going keep living Jesus got you in your family
I am 25 single girl. I have a thyroid cyst. The doctor said to operate after having the baby. What effect does sex have after thyroid removal? I can't write English well
Getting mine done next month. Get your levels right and exercise. My mom had hers done. Exercise really helps. Made my mom a teen again. She hit the gym everyday after her surgery. Before it she was 270 and was angry all the time..... Like me now
I was diagnosed by hypothyroidism 2yrs ago .the doctors recommended for the surgery which I had to do because I had no option but accept the recommendation coz of how I was feeling before,,the tiredness,the rapid heartbeat,loss of weight,,no appetite,diziness etc..the surgery went well and I was put on the levothyroxine drugs..my quiz...can there be side effects of not taking your drugs daily has recommended?this drugs are quit expensive aki..and also taking them on a daily basis sucks😭...again sometimes am okay sometimes symptoms reoccure...pls help
yeah, something very nefarious is going on with this. With many thyroidectomy/RAI patients, it can totally destroy their personality and change them for the worst if not treated carefully post surgery. Also, anybody get a flu shot or covid shot a few months prior to the discovery of thyroid nodules?
@@BlobDylan you're not alone. The majority of Thyroid cancer survivors have had the "jab" prior to their diagnosis, but for some odd reason this theory quickly gets dismissed and no doctor can seem to notice a blatant correlation.
@@BlobDylan you'll never see actual stats because nobody will fund such a study. That's why nobody talks about the correlation because it will quickly be dismissed by the pro-vaxers. However, I have asked this question many time and there seems to be a lot of people who have had the jab prior to their diagnosis.
@@benjaminashery7728 Yeah, ya' lost me there. I don't disagree that doctors can be dumb sometimes but, what's even dumber is making up scary stories to spook people. Also, from what I found, people don't turn to the internet bro say how great things are. So, instead you get a confirmed bias and see all the worse things about anything
I'm thinking about getting mine removed because my nodules are growing fast and are slowly crushing my throat. I used to make alot of videos for RUclips and tik tok but anything I try to make sounds like it's been recorded by Darth Vader. I was hoping for a partial but now I've have fast growing noduals in left and right side.
My affirma was inconclusive too. I have a family history of thyroid cancer and neck cancers. Then I had new nodules showing up and growth into other structures. Inconclusive biopsies over the last 2 years. Imaging staging my nodules as TIRADS 4 (85% chance of cancer). Mine came out 4 days ago.
@@KimmieJ1920 I have nodules left and right and one is growing vertically. it grew rapidly in the past year. I am 24 and have hypothyroidism since 4 years ago. I take levothyroxine as well :( my Affirma tests were also inconclusive:( I am considering thyroidectomy asap tbh. I'm scared but we shall see~
i had a thyroid nodule , i was going to surgery ,when i heart about thermal ablation . i travelled to Zurich and went through the procedure. please advise advice patients with thyroid nodules to look into this procedure before making any decision
1000000000000 percent. I was fine with mine and i was forced into removing. They wouldnt help me drs just said go and have the surgery then we can help you. my nodules were begnin and i dont know why they couldnt help me reverse it. They were over excited and asked to remove it cz it was the last resort. I was fit strong and had great figure and now im over weight with hair on my face.. losing my eyebrows and tired alllllll the time with heart palpitations. Btw i havked my husbands youtube account. Lol. But she is so true 😢😢😢😢
Moved last paragraph to top just because otherwise it might be TLDR, so this last paragraph comes last just is the conclusion to what the rest describes for those who don't want to read. Point is while the story could be very much true, I have a feeling some key information was "overlooked" in order to fit the advertisers narrative. My bet is the doctor probably went "Your FNA came back inconclusive, you are having bad hyperthyroidism, do you wish to do the FNA again or would you like to just flat out have it removed since you are eligable regardless if it is cancer or not since you have hyperthyroidism". Agreed, that is fairly standard procedure. But I do have a feeling that while the symptoms and what not are fairly accurate that the truth may have been stretched a bit seeing as this is an advertisement for "Afirma", and drug and medical companies have no issue with stretching the truth to try to get patients to ask for something they don't need, I can't imagine a credible doctor doing a total thyroidectomy without a biopsy first, partial thyroidectomy sure, partial thyroidectomy where they do a more thorough biopsy while you are opened up and switch to a total thyroidectomy if it comes back malignet, sure, but a total thyroidectomy without doing a biopsy first? no. I know when I had mine removed, I had several tests for something unrelated because I was coughing up blood like every 2 hours for 6 weeks straight (they never did figure out what was causing that) and found it to be suspicious in the CT scan while they where looking for something else, then I had an ultrasound, then I had my FNA biopsy 3 weeks later then when the biopsy came back as papillary cancer on the thyroid and fine on the lymph nodes, I then had another CT 2 weeks later followed by my surgery a week after that. And prior to the surgery it was like "here is the plan, we are going to do a total thyroidectomy since that has been confirmed to have cancer and you are opting to just have it dealt with now rather then just remove half and hope it was just in the one visible nodule, we will do another more thorough biopsy on the lymph nodes while we have you open because sometimes they can be a false negative, if they come back positive do you wish to agree to remove them?". Everything was tested multiple ways, I was given multiple options of what to do and how to do it, and yes I did opt to get it done and over with so that I don't have to do surgery multiple times, and yes I did opt to do the radioactive iodine because again I qualified as high enough risk and I really didn't want to have to deal with it again. Unfortunately at my 6 month scan some stuff came back as suspicious again, but they decided to not act on the suspicion and wait till my 1 year scan which is coming up here is a month.
I had mestatized cancer to lymphnodes...I had total.TT Then had rai twice .. Once in 2012 for scans again for cancer in 2015.. They didnt tell me How big a Chance of Cancer You Have by Getting Rai.. Now I have Life long compkications.. But found out My child has Thyroid problems
Damn. I guess there's two sides to this coin. Feeling like you're dying while wanting to live, so you wanna get your thyroid taken out... Or being alive and healthy again but not wanting to live, missing your thyroid.
Finally found someone just like me. Yes girl. I was just saying that all her symptoms is what I currently have and. Soon as I find a job that gives me insurance I'm getting my thyroid completely taken out. I'm not going to sit around play with it and brush it off I need surgery now
Also that’s not all some of us like me may end up with strabismus a crossing of one eye!!!! They don’t tell you that before the surgery.. if I had to do it again,, I’ll take the zero cause I wouldn’t do it… going from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism,,, from fast to not at all!!!! Nawww.. they correction is costing more than just dealing with it…
Sounds like you need to get your dosage corrected. And I’m sorry to hear about your eye. I didn’t know that was a complication until I saw it in a video last night. Maybe you could go to an Occuloplastic surgeon to fix it. It should be covered by your medical insurance.
Did this happen from removal of the whole thyroid?? My doctor wants to take out half of my thyroid because I have a really large nodule on the right side of my right thyroid. Will this happen to me if he only takes out half???
@@mennamedhat7104 yes it was benign, but the nodule has grown since the last time I did an ultrasound so my doctor suggested that I get half of the thyroid removed. But now I’m afraid of all the side effects this lady is experiencing, but I also don’t want the nodule to get larger.
I had half mine taken out in 2010 due to a large goiter. No symptoms, meds and normal labs. Now I have visible nodules on the other side and I believe they are obstructing my breathing. I wish I had taken a more holistic approach years ago. I believe that thyroid issues are rooted in stress and emotional health. If you don’t fix what’s causing the root of the issue just taking out body parts isn’t going to help in the long run. Even if I have the other half taken out, I’m not convinced this is going to solve issues and could present other problems elsewhere. That explains why my thyroid levels were always normal even though I had a goiter and nodules. I learned that the thyroid is usually the victim of your immune system overreacting and it’s not really the thyroid that’s the problem. That’s why so many people have complications after surgery. The problems also tend to be more common in women because we tend to have more emotional issues and the thyroid is the emotional gland. I wish I had worked harder to get to the root of my problem earlier. I think it would’ve prevented a lot of this. I wish you the best.
@@quickpstuts412 i actually was diagnosed with an anxiety and depressive disorder in 2018, which was the same year I started noticing that the nodule was visible on the outside of my neck. I’ve always had the thought in the back of my mind that my anxiety caused a reaction to my immune system, causing the nodule to grow, but I was always told that it wasn’t the cause. What could I do in response to that?
@@khonchusakwerius7237 It can work too fast that it poisons your blood with thyroid antibodies these affect the heart in ways that can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure, heart palpitations, heart enlargement or heart attacks. Also thryoidtoxicosis can kill you. So if you've had hyperthyroidism a long time it can and will eventually kill you if it doesn't come out. I tried medicating it and its not working.
@@anabbashir2073 i hope it will go well, just try to be calm and trust me even very small things such as tooth extraction may have very very big complications.. so just trust god they will save u and dont overthink about it
What you said it like saying can’t you take enough anti depressions until you don’t feel it anymore which it is not true because if the body lacks making things on it is own then you have take the pill forever
for sure she must take long acting drugs and pills bc the thyroid hormones are so important for body metabolism so the drugs should simulate its function, but they will never be as effective as the natural hormones so she will experience alot of side effects such as fatigue and depression.
I have hyperthyroidism. The methimazole they prescribed can't be taken long term because it could affect my liver. So removing my thyroid may be my option.
@@tyronzasmith3735 I have the same diagnose. I am currently taking Methimazole & considering a thyroidectomy. I know some people who have had much success with it. But I’m also looking into doing the lectin free diet & healing my gut first as this is a major cause for autoimmune responses that cause different illnesses & imbalances. You should research The Plant Paradox by Dr. Gundry & see if this is an option for you. The surgery is permanent so it’s best to try everything before resorting to surgery.
I've been suspecting something in my throat area for a long time it bothers me I can't sleep half the time I keep clearing my throat all the time and I always confuse it to be something else but I've had it!!! I'm going to get checked cause I know it's something there maybe it's nodules something.?
I'm 20 and I'm from Hungary.
I had thyroid cancer, so the doctors removed both my thyroid gland and my parathyroid gland.
I haven't had any problems since the surgery and I'm completely happy!
I wish everyone perseverance and positivity.
I had tyrod removed because I was told it can be cancer ,almost 50 years yang , nodules I have got around they say need to be removed but after op. it was still there .Dr gave me thyroxine tablets a sad to me it can give me arthritis but it is better than cancer.I am now 20 years after and pain from arthritis is not nice I can tell.I know there are natural tablets instead chemical one but cost is enormous and I can not afford it.Even I know that natural one have not problem with arthritis.If I can go back I will newer go trough that operation.
Being 20 makes a massive difference to
@@Hobie2fly What natural non arthritis medicine are you referring to? I’m contemplating on the surgery. I decided not to have it two years ago because I didn’t want to be on medication the rest of my life, but I’m having heart palpitations. It also feels like I’m choking on food sometimes. I have 4 nodules on the left side. One was 3cm, but grew to 4cm over the last two years. A biopsy was supposedly done and it was benign.
I will have another biopsy in a week. Please pray for me. I don’t want to be on that medication and I don’t want to have it removed. So, what supplements are you referring to that are costly?
@@Optimus19572 I know that exist natural hormone for thyroid , it is make from pigs and do not have side effect.That what I have got from Dr make in your body only T4and T3 ,natural one make most of what body normally making.But you have to find Dr who will give to you.I find naturopath but it is sooo expensive I can not afford it .Unfortunatelly.
God has the final answer. My doctor keep pushing surgery on my building mot getting surgery. I go for a scan Thursday of this week, I pray It's not cancer or any problems. God Is the answer. I pray all good health for all of you.
god doesn't exist
Amen
Finally someone who is experiencing what I am experiencing. I am so tired, I am not the same person, my energy is gone, my plans for the future is gone ... yet the doctors look at me as if I am imagining it all. I wish I had not had the operation, I was talked into it by my doctors. All I can say is if you don’t have cancer (mine was just enlarged) don’t, don’t, don’t do it.
YUP! 1 pill they said. Are you on T3? That should help make you feel better. If you just got it taken out, get on T3 NOW! I am on T3 and feeling better but my body has years of damage from improper dosing.
@@mscoable thank you very much for this advice, I have googled T3 and am reading it now. No one had told me about it, I really appreciate your advice, I will definitely get some and keep my fingers crossed it works for me. Yes had the thyroid out not quite 6 months ago
@@cee2615 -I would recommend you read stop the thyroid madness. She has a website with lots of information. You may have issues getting T3 from your endo as they tend to not like that med. You'll probably need to go to a functional medicine doctor or naturopath if they prescribe in your state.
You can take synthesis to replace what you have lost, but it requires instant action.
There is no choice .If You have nodules that are biopsed
And show cancer.
I just had my left thyroid lobe removed and there was no cancer. (Happy for that aspect.) This endocrinologist said he would NOT perform a second FNA (1.5 years later) and said removal of my left thyroid lobe was the only suggestion he had to insure ‘no cancer was present. Presently, I’m three-weeks post surgery and am dizzy and sick…weak and now still can’t drive due to the dizziness and imbalanced feeling. The endocrinologist who told me to get it done has nothing to say about my daily ill-feeling. I’m going to try another endocrinologist at a nearby, larger-city clinic. Please pray a decent solution is found to relieve my dizzy/nauseous feeling I am presently experiencing. Am wondering if anyone has experienced this nauseous/dizzy feeling after their surgery and if it ever goes away!
Yes me too...please check your Vitamin B12 and D vitamin levels...I too had hemithyroidectomy later I felt somuch fatigue n depression also still now....my vitamin b12 and D vitamin are low...taking treatment for that

Please GOD !! I pray that I don't have any of theses symptoms with ever out come it maybe :(..... If you are reading this PLEASE KEEP ME IN PRAYER. #irregularthroidsucks
I'm glad you are researching this because it's a big decision. I would consult with a thyroid specialist in homeopathic medicine asap. Your insurance won't cover it but who cares because anything is better than cutting it out. I have heard that there are certain things one can do to actually reduce the size of these nodules without cutting them out or taking liquid poison RAI.
I go to have Mines taken out as well the whole thyroid removed on the same day tomorrow matter fact April 20th and I'm scared as fuck praying with you 🙏🏾
I had total thyroid removed March 31, 2022. I have not experienced any problems. I got up walking the next day-went home the next day. I have been to track walking 2-3 miles daily. I have not gained any weight going on 4 weeks. I sometimes have hot flash and when I swallow it feels like something is stuck in throat. I am praying you do well.

Just reading this praying that everything turned out good for you Lee. I just went in today was told I had multiple nodules non cancerous but they recommended total thyroid removal. These comments have me concerned as well. 🤦🏾♂️
They said its ok because I'm now having no Thyroid cancer, but my life had a turn around in just few hours of that surgery. I'm alive but good for nothing. This is disability without showing 😭. Nobody understands, they think you are just lazy to do anything and you don't do much to make yourself feel better.

I'm a 38-year Thyroid Cancer survivor.
Nobody ever told me what it would be like to live without a thyroid. It was all, "You're so lucky! You got the Good Cancer!"
I can't imagine if I found out later it wasn't necessary (it was necessary for me.)
It sure changes your life though. Fatigue, Brain Fog, Muscle Cramps, Depression, dry skin etc. All those medical people who told me this was a "good cancer" I appreciate that it's an easier cancer to treat, and I'm grateful for the medical people who cared for me in 1986, but I'd love to give you an opportunity to live a month in my skin and deal with living without a thyroid and see how enthusiastic you are about it then.
are you on T4 and T3 or just T4?
Your body uses ferritin to convert T4 into T3 and if they aren't supplementing both you can have a lot of problems
@@cobrafan1403 I take natural thryroid replacement which has T4 and T3.
I had multiple nodules, several were calcified. I went in every 6 months for needle biopsies. The nodules continued to grow, the test results were always inconclusive. My maternal Aunt was dying from throat cancer. it wasn't from her thyroid, but if mine developed cancer it would of been in the same area and the same cancer. I had 2 different doctors and 2 different opinions. I opted to remove it! it's coming up on 4 years, still having to adjust my Synthroid. I gained weight around my middle I can't get rid of. my skin is wrinkly on my arms. I'm 68 and I made this choice. For me it was the right choice. I also had a parathyroid removed a year before that had turned into a tumor and was flooding my body with calcium. Good luck to all you and God bless!
p.s.
I was benign!
I have toxic multi module thyroid and it does everything from heart palpitations, brain fog, arrhythmia, weight gain. Everything. It's basically hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism because you get symptoms from both. My mom had hers removed and and she had energy out the wazo. She was a head cook in hot kitchen and went to the gym every day. If you don't need the surgery don't get it. If it's grown like mine and have multiple nodules that can produce so much hormone at one that you shake and your jaw tries to clamp and you're freezing. Maybe get it removed.
Exactly some people in the comments are really working my nerves I have hyperthyroidism so I basically like lose weight I don't have a high metabolism I'm sleepy don't have energy and I really want to work in law enforcement or going to the military after I graduate in December 2022. But before I even decide to apply for the military or anything I have to get my thyroid removed because I can't be on the job talking about I can't do the work because my thyroid is acting up so I'm going to have to get the surgery
Wow this comment was so enlightening. and had those symptoms but I just had part of my thyroid removed and I feel so much better! How’s your weight now? We’re you able to lose it ?
I'm the opposite,and was told mine is non existent,half the size it should be after 5-6 years of no meds helping,my Drs suggested I finally have removed, I've had Graves since I was 3months old, but I'm 47 and nothing has worked ,and I also have a herniated Muscle protruding through my neck , so they're gonna repair as Well as remove my thyroid, , I have to have an uptake test to determine where my levels are in my body
My mom went through it. It was very difficult for 6 months with many defficiency like calcium, potassium and magnesium. She stayed in only in hospital for 1 month, however after 7 months everything is going good, we filmed many videos in the process to keep her entertained and create memories but now she goes to work and feels very normal. Don't worry, it will be fine for you.
Sorry about your experience. I was diagnosed with an enlarged thyroid gland, multiple nodule goiter on the right in the mid 80s and being in the military, my hormone level was constantly monitored and adjusted when needed during my pregnancies. During the late 90s I was given radiation to destroy the gland, but for some reason I did not need hormone replacement because my levels were always "normal". However, I found out a few years ago that I also had nodules on the left side. My doctor's treatment for me was continued monitoring, but then I started to have pain on the right side of my neck. A biopsy was done and came back inconclusive, so another was done and came back normal. I decided to have a total thyroidectomy because some of the nodules were calcified, the pain and bulge in my neck on the right, and my trachea becoming crooked due the nodules pushing against it. Surgery is not for everyone, but you have to be you own health advocate because some medical professionals are not completely transparent. I'm now recovering from surgery 10 days ago, and except for fatigue, neck stiffness and stress that something negative is going to happen with my incision, I'm going okay!
By the way, my paternal grandmother had a goiter the size of a grapefruit on her neck and I did not want that happening for me.
My mom too. Grapefruit size. I'm having mine removed in a month
How are you now ? Had mines removed 2 weeks ago
@@melissanorman6500 How are you and are you on medication? Is it causing any issues?
Doctors found two follicular neoplasms on my right lobe and are encouraging me to have a total thyroidectomy..strongly pushing back and considering other options..
It's been done for a long, long time - something seems wrong, so why not just remove the whole thing? I had a kidney tumor. One doctor suggested (without biopsy results) to just REMOVE THE ENTIRE KIDNEY. Wtaf. "You can live with just one kidney". THAT'S NOT THE POINT. I had a biopsy. The tumor was benign, so they abated it. No problem. When I was a teen, my mom was told there were "questionable cells" on her cervix. They did a complete hysterectomy. She immediately went into menopause. They could have left the ovaries to prevent that, but some surgeons just can't be bothered. You either get a doctor who does a surgical strike or you get one that's knife-happy.
Thank you for sharing. Praying to Jesus for everyone to find hope in Him.
So sorry! I had a different surgery because I was told I had cancer and didn't, so heartbreaking this happens to people!! Have a friend who had his thyroid removed and is now having moodiness, arthritis, gout, etc.. online searching for help. Cabbage juice helped so much for my brain fog but I'm not sure if he can have cruciferous vegetables after removal.
Yeses 😫I tell anybody if u love your weight and energy please if you DONT have to DONT TAKE IT OUT ..

Mine has to come out its affecting my heart.
I regret having mine took out, every day is a struggle , I didn't have cancer either, I feel like crap not every other day, every day , the Doctor always tell me my numbers are always high , nothing has ever changed when I take meds , 🙄
I had total thyroidectomy for benign nodules and it been 12 years and my life change for the worse. I’m suffering every day. I write this with tears running down my cheeks.
Y, what happened?
This is a paid ad by a business that does thyroid testing. Most people do just fine if they take the thyroid hormone replacement. RFA is now an option as well.
I’m on meds and that’s a lie. Life is not the same after removing my thyroids. I can relate to this woman.
My mom had hers done and worked in a hot kitchen and hit the gym everyday well into her 50s
No one ever understands how difficult it is to have thyroid problems. I had mine removed when I was 19 years old (I’m 21 now) and it almost killed me. I couldn’t sleep, constant headaches, my thyroid had a nodule the size of a plum and was pushing my trachea over so I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t even get out of bed bc I was so tired. Now the only complication is my thyroid antibodies are too elevated no matter what I do which has caused chronic hives that I have to take allergy medicine for. It’s a debilitating thing and I wish everyone here good health and happiness❤
That happened to me also. I had mine removed in 2016 and no cancer just lumps, and it's a challenge for me because I feel everything you feel and my eyes got bad. I'm researching natural stuff because for some reason the medicine doesn't do well for me and they have long term side effects ☹️
Hi, i want to first thank you for your service. i have been watching many videos on thyroid surgery and thanks to your video, i now have my answer,thx. But be strong keep the faith and believe that everything is going to be alright. God Bless
I had my thyroid removed in same year....2016. All I hear from this video and what you say, I can fully relate with it as I am also a changed person since that time, no energy to fight for the daily life.
It's maddening the way they want to cut people. It's sick. Fortunately I've just had it once after a miscarriage.
Hi. I had a gland in my thyroid 4 years ago, it was 10 times the size of a normal. After the surgery I couldnt sleep at all, so I know where you coming from! God bless you!
I know what your saying. I had my Thyroid removed and 2 Parathyroids. It wasn't Cancer either. I have to take Levothyroxine and Calcium for the rest of my life. My health is up and down. Life has changed. Get a good Doctor who Specializes in Thyroidectomy.

My dr wants to do a total thyroidectomy because I have Graves Disease and hyperthyroidism. The medication didn't do anything to lower my levels and it was raising my liver enzymes. I really dont want to get the surgery but I do want these symptoms to stop. Anyone else have a total thyroidectomy due to Graves?
I had one yesterday I was hyper then hypo then back hyper. Do your research if you do take supplements with T3 in it because everyone say you are bound to gain weight and irs hard to lose weight without a thyroid hormone
Yes Dec of 2022. The Graves disease and large goiter were not getting any better from the Methimazole that most people are put on from Graves Disease. The palpitations....arrythmias, weight loss (only good thing) the heat intolerance, insomnia etc. Then about 4 months before I decided on the total thyroidectomy is when my gastro intestinal system went bazerk!! Nausea vomitting the worst!! So I had a thyroidectomy, no cancer. The weight gain and fatigue are awful. Im not sure i regret the surgery because I feel like with the heart arrhythmias alone and tachycardia, my heart couldnt take it much longer. But this fatigue is so awful!! Im sorry to all going thru this
This is exactly how I feel about my total thyroidectomy.
The best way I try to explain it to people is that a regular person has a furnace to burn fuel to heat their house.. metabolism burning food to give the body energy.. in our cases ( thyroidectomy ) we have a hot plate as a furnace trying to burn energy ( food ) to heat up our house ( body ) that’s one reason why we stay cold now.. and to add insult to injury,,, they know we’re gonna gain weight so why not just prescribe us T3 ( active ) instead of T4 to convert over to T3??? !!

I pray I get different outcome I hope to get ablation and all this you feel I feel with thyroid nodules . Pray 🙏🏾 you heal.
Why do I feel this way before Thyroid removal, no energy ,brain fog and the same.
I am 29years old, no own family, single. I have found out that my nodules are enlrged a year ago. Doctor said I’ve had it probably long time ago “the nodules” but it only became visible now, all my thyroid functions are normal. T3/T4, but my body is confused with everything now, to heat/cold, whether to gain/loss weight. My throat doesnt hurt much but uncomfortable with the enlargment. Opting out for the surgery as there is no way I should be drinking medicine when it doesnt show any abnormalities. FNA showed benign, but , its getting larger fast. I don’t know what to do.
I'm in the same boat. Mine are growing. Already had half of thyroid removed due to goiter. No meds and normal blood work after surgery and no side effects....just some uncomfortable nodules grew on the other side. But I'm afraid to take the whole thing out since I have no other symptoms.
Hii...did u had surgery...now...beacuse i have the same...and want to about side effects of surgery
Currently 30 y.o and just had a partial right lobectomy on my thyroid. I was having high levels (hyperthyroidism) but had absolutely no symptoms just a 3cm nodule on my right thyroid that was big enough in size for doctors to be concerned as to how I wasn’t having a hard time breathing, swallowing, or eating. Even though I wasn’t showing any symptoms I believe it was best to remove it because I feel had I not I would’ve eventually began to feel those symptoms, I was a little let down that they couldn’t just ligate the nodule from the thyroid and I could keep both but because of the size there really wasn’t a way to do so. I am praying and hopeful that I will not need to be on medication for the rest of my life as long as my levels balance out on their own.
I’m having these issues with my thyroids. Thinking about getting it removed
I just had my thyroids removed a complete so far so good I having been in any pain my throat is a little sore but I want eating cream potato the next day started off with a thyroid replacement and Tums but when I went back to the doctor he look me off and said my level of calcium was to high instead of being low so I saying with a whole lot of praying and a great doctor me and my body is bless.
Does anyone have major body cramps all over after their thyroidectomy? My husband lost his job and no insurance, I’m out of pills. I’ve experienced these cramps for the last year and half.
Could it help to take some medication for depression, I have bipolar, its depression on a high level and low level depression in another day. The medication has balanced me 95 0/0 it has been a miracle, I have some nodules that are being checked for cancer, but im still taking my medication. I have a psychiatrist doctor that gave me a GENOTYPE BLOOD TEST to subscribe me the correct medication. This breaks my heart, I will pray for you. When the thyroid is removed aren’t they supposed to give you some medication. There are doctors that have the knife itch and they just boom cut it out and check later. Im not doing this, even if I have some cancer, im going to see how I can keep an eye on it, a make sure thats its not growing. After a removal isnt is common procedure to give you a medication treatment for life. What meds are you taking? Please JESUS lead an guide your daughter to highest wisdom of your power, the person that you assign for her LORD, the Bible says that you are to go to your church and have the elders pray for you, an if you still have the problem then pray an look for a good specialist. Agape in CHRIST JESUS ❤
Don’t have thyroidectomy please! I regret mine too, it wasn’t cancer and i feel miserable now
Are there areas that do the surgery without, oh I don't know, doing a biopsy first? Like yeah I had my Thyroid removed, and yeah I am still working on recovering though my medication is not right yet, but I had biopsies done on my Thyroid and on some inflamed lymph nodes first, where the thyroid came back as papillary cancer and the lymph nodes came back ok. While yes I 100% agree trying to recover from it is no fun and the side effects of not being properly medicated sucks royally, I can't imagine any credible doctor doing a total thyroidectomy without either it being due to extreme hyperthyroidism or in the case of cancer getting a biopsy first. Something seems very off with this story, almost like it is an advertisement, because while yes every symptom she explained is fully accurate, I can't imagine a doctor not doing a biopsy first, specially since to get approved from insurance I am sure insurance would require a biopsy for something like that.
Now I could be wrong and maybe I just got very professional doctors, but still it doesn't sound right since there is no way a insurance company would approve a thyroidectomy without a biopsy or a diagnosis of extreme hyperthyroidism.
Thats not true because I didn't have a scan done and my doctor said I should have my thyroid removed. Different doctors handle illnes Different
@@bryanbm2231 But was yours just removing to remove because it "might be" or was it removing to remove because regardless of if it was or not it was still enlarged or overactive enough to where it would be dangerous if it wasn't removed? You don't always have it removed purely due to cancer, sometimes you have it removed because it is dangerous regardless of cancer or not. If yours had a growth on it large enough to interfere with your breathing or causing hyperthyroidism they would have removed it regardless and then biopsied it during the surgery to see what the next steps should be.
You don't just remove it because "it might be cancerous" without making sure something else isn't going on, but you would remove it without having to do a scan first if it is something that is a direct danger to your health.
I highly doubt you had surgery without either having something dangerously large or you had a scan or test and just didn't realize how simple they are, wither it be a blood test coming back with extremely unsafe high levels of T4 or T3, or an ultrasound.
I had gone in for something entirely separate, coughing up blood every hour for 7 weeks straight, and had a CT done to figure out what was going on with that when the thyroid stuff was found on it so that had nothing to do with the thyroid itself, I then had an ultrasound and blood drawn to see if it was suspicious or not which it did, I then had a FNA biopsy to confirm if it was our not which is a biopsy done with ultrasound. It was confirmed and then I had my surgery with a CT before hand just so the doctor knew what he was working with but that scan itself is definitely doctor personal preference. The only scan done for the thyroid directly before thyroid surgery was the ultrasound.
Are you trying to say that you had no ultrasound, and no blood test and didn't have something large enough to endanger you, and they where just like "yup lets do surgery without making sure that is the problem first"?
I am not saying you are lying, I am just curious is maybe what you think a scan is and what a scan really is are not the same and you did have a scan without realizing that is what it was since it is a simple ultrasound. And like I said if your thyroid is pressing on your airway or is causing you to have such a high hormone level that it is extremely dangerous for your health then you wouldn't need to do any scan, but this video was not talking about something like that.
Mine is being removed without biopsy. He wanted to do radiation but said it might not and it wouldn't shrink it and it's beginning to itch my throat so I told him I'd rather just remove it and be done. My mom had hers removed to
Well… you should do the biopsy first and if it is cancerous or if it is obstructing something then you should accept surgery.
It’s not that simple. Biopsies sometimes come back non diagnostic or inconclusive. My afirma came back inconclusive and all my imaging staged my nodules at a TIRADS 4 which is 85% chance of cancer. With that coupled with my biopsies over the last 10 years with the last 2 years being inconclusive, the nodule changes, new nodules showing up, growth into other structures, and a family history of thyroid and neck cancers mine had to come out.
You can get back to where you was take you some tumoring and Ginger and ground black pepper with some honey and take it with the pill or the powder and I swear to you you'll start feeling better you have a beautiful family and a beautiful heart people don't always tell the truth sometimes it be about money and not the person keep going keep living Jesus got you in your family
Surgery brings big bucks in any field.
Energy levels come down a lot.😊
This is really sad. Feel bad for this woman.
I am 25 single girl.
I have a thyroid cyst. The doctor said to operate after having the baby.
What effect does sex have after thyroid removal?
I can't write English well
Thank you.
My surgery is total thyroidectomy. Am a bit nerves 😔
Getting mine done next month. Get your levels right and exercise. My mom had hers done. Exercise really helps. Made my mom a teen again. She hit the gym everyday after her surgery. Before it she was 270 and was angry all the time..... Like me now
@@user-fh6ht3ow8n did you have the surgery? How are you feeling? I am scheduled for a TT in three weeks.
Yes. 6 weeks ago. Feel fine. Just shoveled my huge drive way and run around with my kids. First couple weeks I was tired. After that. I'm pretty good
Doctor name and phone number PLEASE
Colloid goitre with large central cystic/ necrotic area( recent reports)
One year before i have done fnac
And result was benign
What can i do
I have same story the toke my thyroid for no reason
I was diagnosed by hypothyroidism 2yrs ago .the doctors recommended for the surgery which I had to do because I had no option but accept the recommendation coz of how I was feeling before,,the tiredness,the rapid heartbeat,loss of weight,,no appetite,diziness etc..the surgery went well and I was put on the levothyroxine drugs..my quiz...can there be side effects of not taking your drugs daily has recommended?this drugs are quit expensive aki..and also taking them on a daily basis sucks😭...again sometimes am okay sometimes symptoms reoccure...pls help
Have you felt better since you posted this video?
If you have nothing to say, just watch n pass 👎🏽
I have Hoshimotos and I’d like to know how she feels too
She won't answer..... It's a commercial!
yeah, something very nefarious is going on with this. With many thyroidectomy/RAI patients, it can totally destroy their personality and change them for the worst if not treated carefully post surgery. Also, anybody get a flu shot or covid shot a few months prior to the discovery of thyroid nodules?
Actually, I did.
@@BlobDylan you're not alone. The majority of Thyroid cancer survivors have had the "jab" prior to their diagnosis, but for some odd reason this theory quickly gets dismissed and no doctor can seem to notice a blatant correlation.
@@benjaminashery7728 I'm curious to actually see stats, etc.
@@BlobDylan you'll never see actual stats because nobody will fund such a study. That's why nobody talks about the correlation because it will quickly be dismissed by the pro-vaxers. However, I have asked this question many time and there seems to be a lot of people who have had the jab prior to their diagnosis.
@@benjaminashery7728 Yeah, ya' lost me there. I don't disagree that doctors can be dumb sometimes but, what's even dumber is making up scary stories to spook people. Also, from what I found, people don't turn to the internet bro say how great things are. So, instead you get a confirmed bias and see all the worse things about anything
Holy moly I thought I was alone
I'm thinking about getting mine removed because my nodules are growing fast and are slowly crushing my throat. I used to make alot of videos for RUclips and tik tok but anything I try to make sounds like it's been recorded by Darth Vader. I was hoping for a partial but now I've have fast growing noduals in left and right side.
My affirma results were inconclusive. No idea what to next
My affirma was inconclusive too. I have a family history of thyroid cancer and neck cancers. Then I had new nodules showing up and growth into other structures. Inconclusive biopsies over the last 2 years. Imaging staging my nodules as TIRADS 4 (85% chance of cancer). Mine came out 4 days ago.
@@KimmieJ1920 I have nodules left and right and one is growing vertically. it grew rapidly in the past year. I am 24 and have hypothyroidism since 4 years ago. I take levothyroxine as well :(
my Affirma tests were also inconclusive:(
I am considering thyroidectomy asap tbh.
I'm scared but we shall see~
i had a thyroid nodule , i was going to surgery ,when i heart about thermal ablation . i travelled to Zurich and went through the procedure. please advise advice patients with thyroid nodules to look into this procedure before making any decision

1000000000000 percent. I was fine with mine and i was forced into removing. They wouldnt help me drs just said go and have the surgery then we can help you. my nodules were begnin and i dont know why they couldnt help me reverse it. They were over excited and asked to remove it cz it was the last resort. I was fit strong and had great figure and now im over weight with hair on my face.. losing my eyebrows and tired alllllll the time with heart palpitations. Btw i havked my husbands youtube account. Lol. But she is so true 😢😢😢😢

@Gen Gee, how many times are you posting this information. Are you getting a fee for posting it?
She should have gotten an fna before surgery.
Moved last paragraph to top just because otherwise it might be TLDR, so this last paragraph comes last just is the conclusion to what the rest describes for those who don't want to read.
Point is while the story could be very much true, I have a feeling some key information was "overlooked" in order to fit the advertisers narrative. My bet is the doctor probably went "Your FNA came back inconclusive, you are having bad hyperthyroidism, do you wish to do the FNA again or would you like to just flat out have it removed since you are eligable regardless if it is cancer or not since you have hyperthyroidism".
Agreed, that is fairly standard procedure. But I do have a feeling that while the symptoms and what not are fairly accurate that the truth may have been stretched a bit seeing as this is an advertisement for "Afirma", and drug and medical companies have no issue with stretching the truth to try to get patients to ask for something they don't need, I can't imagine a credible doctor doing a total thyroidectomy without a biopsy first, partial thyroidectomy sure, partial thyroidectomy where they do a more thorough biopsy while you are opened up and switch to a total thyroidectomy if it comes back malignet, sure, but a total thyroidectomy without doing a biopsy first? no.
I know when I had mine removed, I had several tests for something unrelated because I was coughing up blood like every 2 hours for 6 weeks straight (they never did figure out what was causing that) and found it to be suspicious in the CT scan while they where looking for something else, then I had an ultrasound, then I had my FNA biopsy 3 weeks later then when the biopsy came back as papillary cancer on the thyroid and fine on the lymph nodes, I then had another CT 2 weeks later followed by my surgery a week after that. And prior to the surgery it was like "here is the plan, we are going to do a total thyroidectomy since that has been confirmed to have cancer and you are opting to just have it dealt with now rather then just remove half and hope it was just in the one visible nodule, we will do another more thorough biopsy on the lymph nodes while we have you open because sometimes they can be a false negative, if they come back positive do you wish to agree to remove them?". Everything was tested multiple ways, I was given multiple options of what to do and how to do it, and yes I did opt to get it done and over with so that I don't have to do surgery multiple times, and yes I did opt to do the radioactive iodine because again I qualified as high enough risk and I really didn't want to have to deal with it again. Unfortunately at my 6 month scan some stuff came back as suspicious again, but they decided to not act on the suspicion and wait till my 1 year scan which is coming up here is a month.
Enlarge nodules like 6 cm, doctors don't want to FNA because the results is inaccurate anymore

Damn. I guess there's two sides to this coin.
Feeling like you're dying while wanting to live, so you wanna get your thyroid taken out...
Or being alive and healthy again but not wanting to live, missing your thyroid.
Are her symptoms is me now! Surgery day in 12/02/2021
Good luck and may God bless you !🙏
Finally found someone just like me. Yes girl. I was just saying that all her symptoms is what I currently have and. Soon as I find a job that gives me insurance I'm getting my thyroid completely taken out. I'm not going to sit around play with it and brush it off I need surgery now
Also that’s not all some of us like me may end up with strabismus a crossing of one eye!!!! They don’t tell you that before the surgery.. if I had to do it again,, I’ll take the zero cause I wouldn’t do it… going from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism,,, from fast to not at all!!!! Nawww.. they correction is costing more than just dealing with it…
Your doc needs to get your dose correct
Sounds like you need to get your dosage corrected. And I’m sorry to hear about your eye. I didn’t know that was a complication until I saw it in a video last night. Maybe you could go to an Occuloplastic surgeon to fix it. It should be covered by your medical insurance.
This video is sad I feel so bad for you I feel the same way
Did this happen from removal of the whole thyroid?? My doctor wants to take out half of my thyroid because I have a really large nodule on the right side of my right thyroid. Will this happen to me if he only takes out half???
Don't rush dear ! Did you do a biopsy ? What is your classification.. Don't make surgery as first option !! Ever
@@mennamedhat7104 yes it was benign, but the nodule has grown since the last time I did an ultrasound so my doctor suggested that I get half of the thyroid removed. But now I’m afraid of all the side effects this lady is experiencing, but I also don’t want the nodule to get larger.
I had half mine taken out in 2010 due to a large goiter. No symptoms, meds and normal labs.
Now I have visible nodules on the other side and I believe they are obstructing my breathing.
I wish I had taken a more holistic approach years ago. I believe that thyroid issues are rooted in stress and emotional health. If you don’t fix what’s causing the root of the issue just taking out body parts isn’t going to help in the long run.
Even if I have the other half taken out, I’m not convinced this is going to solve issues and could present other problems elsewhere.
That explains why my thyroid levels were always normal even though I had a goiter and nodules.
I learned that the thyroid is usually the victim of your immune system overreacting and it’s not really the thyroid that’s the problem. That’s why so many people have complications after surgery.
The problems also tend to be more common in women because we tend to have more emotional issues and the thyroid is the emotional gland.
I wish I had worked harder to get to the root of my problem earlier. I think it would’ve prevented a lot of this. I wish you the best.
@@quickpstuts412 i actually was diagnosed with an anxiety and depressive disorder in 2018, which was the same year I started noticing that the nodule was visible on the outside of my neck. I’ve always had the thought in the back of my mind that my anxiety caused a reaction to my immune system, causing the nodule to grow, but I was always told that it wasn’t the cause. What could I do in response to that?
@@emily-choolio Trying to reply but they keep removing my comments. Ugh.
If I were a God I would create a better thyroid free from nodules
or maybe just avoid all vaccines which cause these nodules in most people.

Unless it’s cancer I would say “ don’t do it ‘ if a person is hyperthyroidism,, it’s still working it’s just working fast..
Eat what you want right now cuz afterwards,,, whatever you eat it will accumulate to putting on weight…
Also!!!! Get all the high vocal singing outta the way cuz once it’s out you will never sing in that high voice again
@@khonchusakwerius7237 It can work too fast that it poisons your blood with thyroid antibodies these affect the heart in ways that can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure, heart palpitations, heart enlargement or heart attacks. Also thryoidtoxicosis can kill you. So if you've had hyperthyroidism a long time it can and will eventually kill you if it doesn't come out. I tried medicating it and its not working.
Me too!!!

Couldn't you just supplement with more thyroid hormone until you are getting the right amount?
What you said it like saying can’t you take enough anti depressions until you don’t feel it anymore which it is not true because if the body lacks making things on it is own then you have take the pill forever
Easier said then done
for sure she must take long acting drugs and pills bc the thyroid hormones are so important for body metabolism so the drugs should simulate its function, but they will never be as effective as the natural hormones so she will experience alot of side effects such as fatigue and depression.
I have hyperthyroidism. The methimazole they prescribed can't be taken long term because it could affect my liver. So removing my thyroid may be my option.
@@tyronzasmith3735 I have the same diagnose. I am currently taking Methimazole & considering a thyroidectomy. I know some people who have had much success with it. But I’m also looking into doing the lectin free diet & healing my gut first as this is a major cause for autoimmune responses that cause different illnesses & imbalances. You should research The Plant Paradox by Dr. Gundry & see if this is an option for you. The surgery is permanent so it’s best to try everything before resorting to surgery.
