originally that seems to be what my doctor told me...but I said, if it looks like cancer, take it all out, save me a second surgery. My parathyroids got bumped and so they kept me in overnight. they kept coming in an tapping the side of my face...to see if it spasmed.

Ask.
and bring a notebook to write stuff down OR a friend.
it is too much to think about and remember.

If they were super worried about a fast growing invasive cancer, they would probably have you in this week...so maybe it is a good sign.
another thing? get a copy of your bloodwork, not just for your diabetes but for your tsh levels...that way, if they do take out all of your thyroid, you know what is your old normal- your new normal with probably be made lower....below 0.1.

always get copies of all test results, always take notes. and bring any questions with you written down so you remember to ask them. Everyone is in a hurry, but you have a right to know anything you need to make you feel comfortable.

It seems such an oxymoron that slitting your throat is good for your health, but you will be relieved to get all this over with and get on with your life.

Maybe you could call the doctor's office and ask that he give you a call to answer a couple of questions....or email him (my endo has an email he checks)

the good news is that you aren't left hanging about this, and it will be OVER.

Blueviolet thanks for the information i appreciate your concern. I do ask for every test they give me and i put it in a 3 ring binder and take it to doctors when i go. I also order on amazon a voice recorder and i am taking that to the doctors offices when i go so i remember what he said and the answers to the questions i asked because sometimes i don't remember when i get home. And yes I will be glad when this is over. Dr Pribinkin pioneer the mini invasive thyroid operation. Jefferson is a very fine and nationally ranked hospital. I am hoping everything is ok. thanks again
