[Norton AntiSpam] Re: Total Thyroidectomy

[Guest guest]

Did you have RAI to kill off remaining thyroid tissue left after the

TT? My understanding is that thy tissue left behind can grow. Got

to wonder if that's happened. I may be wrong though. The reference

may have been that thyca can regrow. Especially you having been

kept so hypo, signals from pituitary go to it and it grows, as I

understand.

The can't breathe, was doc implying it's hyperventilation, like when

you need to breathe into a bag to calm down and get the breathing

back to normal ? Did he have an explanation for not breathing other

than saying it's not thyroid related ?
