Hi Riss654,
My goodness, I must say even though i wish that neither of us ended up on this page, its been quite amazing for me reading your post.
I was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer in september, after many other tests everywhere else trying to find out what was wrong with me! I also had my thyroid (and many Lymphnodes) removed in October, and am also awaiting radioactive iodine this month! (I will have mine exactly 2 weeks after you)....
If you dont mind me asking, what is the other operation they are talking about? It's so hard when it's unsure whats happening in your body and what effects all of this treatment will have, and those moments of having to 'just be' as i say.
How are you doing getting through the day? I wish you much luck, and will be thinking of you.
