...to remove her thyroid on Thursday the 24th. Wish her well, guys, and I hope she recovers quickly. Thankfully I'll have five days off to take care of her, and our daughter will be close by, too.

FYI, I've been without a thyroid since 1996. Mine was removed due to thyroid cancer. But regardless, I take a synthroid pill every day and don't really notice not having a thyroid. There was a brief period of adjustment when I felt a little off, but that also coincided with recovery from surgery. They have had to slightly adjust the dosage once in that time, but I don't really notice that I'm taking a synthetic thyroid hormone. I'm just as active as I was, well, I've slowed down some but that is just due to age. I ran two miles yesterday. I'm 58. She will be fine. My prayers for her and you, and if prayers are not your thing, consider them my best wishes.

My sister in law hasn't had a thyroid since she was 16 she is now 45, so don't fret.Sure she will be fine. I wish her luck anyway.

thats sound better than hemmroid surgery,a freind had that operation from sitting on his fat ass for 20+ years

I wish you guys the best, and will say a prayer for ya'w.

One of my wargaming buddies had his thyroid removed a little less than a year ago and he is now cancer free and doing excellent. I'm sure you're wife will get through this just fine. All the best to you and your family.

Nothing is worst than having a loved one in the hospital. I wish you two the best of luck.

I'm currently on meds as I have a pituitary tumour which really messed with my hormones and thyroid aswell. Anything that starts to mess with hormones or the thyroid is difficult. I'm looking forward to the day the tumour is small enough to be surgically removed as I can then start to recover. Surgery is always scary but when it boils down to it better than not having it and have a deteriorating condition. I'm sure she will be fine.

Best wishes to your wife and your family KG.

Thoughts and prayers go with you, keep the faith.

Let's hope her 5 day nurse has a good bed side maner. [;)]

I hope all goes well for her. Be sure you shut down SPWAW games and pay extra attention to your wife.

Best wishes, KG.

She's in my prayers. It will be fine.

All the best wishes to the wife Glenn, I'm sure everything goes well.

Ditto, only mine was removed at Landstuhl Regional Med when I was deployed to Bosnia more than a decade ago.

Thyroid cancer is very survivable when caught early, but later the trick is to balance the level of thyroxin/syntheroid so as not to leach calcium from one's bones.

Think calcium supplements, fosamax, etc.

I will pray for her speedy recovery KG.
