A member asked:
When there is a nodule on the thyroid which has calcium in it if surgery is required is only the nodule being taking out or its the thyroid too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need to ask your surgeon whaat the procedure is that is being done. If only the nodule is removed, you may not need thyroid hormone replacement therapy but if the whole thyroid is removed, you will need lifelong thyroid replacement therapy. So, call your surgeon and ask this question. Good luck to you!
