After Surgery For Thyroid Cancer
The incision is freaking huge! A billion times I’d say, “NO, someone did NOT try to decapitate me! And NO, it’s NOT a necklace!” …haha. I sound like a douche.

how can you look so pretty after a major surgery!! :-)
@Shrtnsweet01 ah, I’m so sorry for replying late. I was 16 when I got mine out. Don’t worry, PTC is really treatable with surgery and some radiation.
My surgery was about 7 hours due to the fact that I had 5 tumors. I don’t think that’s common in most cases so I’d expect your operation to be shorter.
@danedane101 wow, I’m really sorry, and I’ll pray for you.
i just had my biopsy for to c if i got thyroid cancer the doctor told me dont hold my breath ….. i got 2 nodules nd honsestly scared shitless
@danedane101 ~ I hope everything goes well for you and nothing serious comes up.
@deathx9090 to be honest, it grew back a couple months ago. I’m on the low iodine diet again because I have to get the treatment in a few weeks.
do you still have it?
I have to have mine taken out how old where you when you needed your taken out? im scared cause they think mine could be cancer as well! I have a 18 month old daughter how long did your surgery take?
I had the same problem. My surgery was 4 days ago. I see you now very well, this videos makes me get better. Congratulations and regards from Valencia, Spain.
I hope u are feeling better.
I just had the completion of my thyroidectomy, i am 21 day away from my radio active treatment.
oh my god. i’m so glad i’m not the only one who went through this. mine went from ear to ear, like yours. but they took out like, 130 lyphnods, or something like that outa my neck. and actually this friday i go back for more surgery. I’m so glad i’m not the only one. :]
It depends what kind of thyroid cancer you have.
My neck was always a little “puffier” or larger almost my whole life. It wasn’t til I was about 18 that one of my doctors took the situation seriously and I had an ultra sound, which found the tumors. Just last summer I was officially declared cancer free. I was twenty than.
You will be okay!!! Just stay positive. This will not control you’re life. I promise!
About lymph nodes. . . I remember the first really bad cold I had after having surgery and having it be so strange that none of my lymph nodes were swollen . . . than I remembered “Oh yeah, those don’t exist anymore!”
I agree!! I love my battle scare too =D.
For a while I would always tell people that It was from the thyroid cancer, than I started having some fun with it =p. “what happened to your neck.” . . . “I got into a pretty nasty knife fight, but I kicked that guys ass!!!”
I dunno how big my tumors were in comparison to most, but I think one was like 4cm, and two more were like 1.5cm. I don’t really quite remember exactly though.
well the tumor on my thyroid was pretty large, and so were the lymph nodes which were distributed pretty evenly through out my neck. it was like a golfball on my thyroid and 5 little gumballs in my neck. :P
I love my battle scar! It’s weird for new people to see since they get scared, but it’s a symbol of my hardship that I’ve overcome. It makes me feel confident and I love that it’s prominent. The visually aesthetic appeal means nothing to me.
I really hate to say this but I am almost upset about how large they made your incision. Of course I know nothing about your particular case, I just don’t think it should have been that large.
Wow. When I had thyroid cancer they removed my entire thyroid and 5 lymph-nodes and my incision was about 1/3rd that size…
You can barely see it now.
hypo and hyper have nothing to do with me…I had neither. What I had was cancer.
oh btw. you had hypo or hyper?
i have hipothiroidism, i’m scared, i have nodes but i’m under treatment
Wow, you look like you are doing well.
You should have played golf with your tumor. Just smacked it around the course for a day.
I’ve made videos updating everyone on my condition. Besides the treatments I’m getting, I’m pretty much okay. :]
I’m on synthroid pills for my hormone since I don’t have a thyroid anymore.
and that’s nonsense! It can’t be too late. I’ll pray for you.
It was cancer tumor? I have one on my thyroid I get the results Dec 1st and they say the cells are different
I think it came from my polyph i had long ago and its turned to cancer There are no e.n.t.s here for adults who are on medicaid
If it wasnt for this thyroid nodule..I wouldnt even be looked at.
Im soo sorry
Are you going to make another vid so we can see the neck is better now?
I think its too late for me.
What kind of meds you on now?
I hope your better best wishes prayers
Wow, you looked really out of it. >_>
I was like that after I had surgery on my spine cuz of stupid scoliosis, but less… coherent. XD And I was crying.
But it’s great that you got through something like that… : )
My doc just felt my throat…I knew there was a lump there but I didn’t feel any different so I dismissed it.
He seemed pretty alarmed though since the tumor was slightly bigger than a golf ball.
