Thyroid surgery and neck dissection

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am actually no longer a herbalist as I am now at medical school and too busy

to practice, even part time.  I have stayed on the list out of interest though

and now would like to ask for some advice.

I've just been diagnosed with follicular thyroid cancer - it's quite advanced

already and has vascular invasion and lymph node spread.  I need the remainder

of my gland removed and a radical neck dissection which sounds ghastly.

I can't help but wonder if my original very large goitre had been taken

seriously back in April when it first presented, I wouldn't now be facing this

extra surgery! 

Has anyone any experience of herbal adjuvant therapies I can take prior to

surgery or after to help recovery?  Medical school has so dominated my life

over recent years, my herbal approaches to cancer and surgery seem a lifetime

ago....!

Thank you for your help.

I treat this condition using Tr. Paonia, Tr. Serenoa, Glycorrhiza (F.E.), and

Mentha spic (tea or tincture). The most distressing aspect of the condition with

most women I find is hirsutism.

I have had patients I've treated for PCOS go on to becoming pregnant by the way.
