Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Hello. After fighting with hypothyroidism for approx 6 years, I had my thyroid removed on December 16th. I had two ultrasounds in the past year come back with a slight growth and to be honest, I was tired of all of the wondering. So, my dr and I decided to remove. The pathology report came back and on Dece 23rd, I was told that I have thyroid cancer. I am still in shock. I am 29 and a single mother to a beautiful daughter. I have been hanging in there but, it is hard. Right now I am two weeks post op and post med..so, the lack of horomone is killing me. I am so tired. Oh, and I am gaining weight now at an alarming pace. Can anyone tell me what to expect from here on out..With the radioiodine therapy and will this weight come back off after the therapy and I get back on the thyroid hormone?? Thanks!!
