A member asked:
The goitre on my neck is getting bigger and my ft4 is 84.4, would it be appropriate to get an operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You have severe hyperthyroidism and need to see a thyroid specialist asap. Your thyroid disease needs to be controlled before any surgery is considered.
