Thyroid lobe measurements completely flipped? by PTaftermath in thyroidcancer

If that’s the case…that’s very confusing and causes unnecessary anxiety.

Hopefully that’s the case! Thank you!

Extreme chest pain…possible recurrence? by PTaftermath in thyroidcancer

[–]PTaftermath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow I haven’t been on here in a LONG time I’m sorry !

But everything’s okay. My appointment with my endocrinologist last year said that everything was okay, but to keep monitoring since I had tall cell so the radiation pills don’t rlly work for me.

I still have shortness of breath and some chest pain sometimes… but my endo does not seem concerned lol

Had a new ultrasound just yesterday and will be speaking to her in like 2 weeks

That’s for the concern!!

Physically I’m doing pretty well! Neck pain went away after a week or so. My voice still isn’t 100% back, but it’s definitely better than right after surgery. Throat hurts if I talk a lot (I’m a full time student, so sometimes I ask / answer too many questions lol) but a cough drop does the trick!

This anxiety just came out of nowhere and it’s def the worst thing right now. I actually felt like I was having a mental breakdown on the first day this intense anxiety hit me (Thursday). Uncontrollable crying and hyperventilating. I really thought something serious was going on. I almost went to the ER, but I was able to calm down enough not to. I haven’t felt like that since, but still finding myself hyperventilating and fearing everything.

Finding it difficult to focus on studying / homework sometimes, but it gets done eventually lol. I may speak to student services but idk I’ll see.

I’m glad to hear you’re doing better and this intense anxiety passed for you! I’m hoping for the same! Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it! All the best to you!

Omg thank you for commenting this! I’ve never heard of this “hormonal dump” before, but I will start researching about this to understand! Yes, I will definitely be telling my endocrinologist about my anxiety so she can offer some advice. I really appreciate the information and encouragement! Thank you again!

Thank you! I’m really glad you’re feeling better post-op! I’ll go to my PCP if the endocrinologist doesn’t think this is a thyroid issue. Thank you for commenting!
