Guest guest Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. I don't know what I'd do without this site. Reading the posts has given me a sense of hope and courage. I don't feel so alone in all of this because of everyone in this group. My surgery is scheduled for August 4 and I will be having a modified neck disection along with the TT. My Endo also said they will probably biospy some lymph nodes on the other side of my neck as there are a few that are enlarged as well. If they turn out to be cancerous will I have to have the right side of my neck done too? Right now he said just my thyroid and the left side. If anyone had a TT with a neck disection, is the recovery time longer than having a TT? I was really shocked when he told me I would have to have that done when the ENT said it would only be the thyroid. I feel very confident in the doctor though. He is one of the best Endo Surgeons in Chicago. Again, thanks for your support. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
