Patient's question:
Six months ago, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and then I had surgery at the hospital. It hasn't been going well since then, and later I had another removal surgery. I've also been taking thyroid pills, but it's still not good. Now I don't even know what to do. SOS!Doctor's answer:
I don't know whether the thyroid cancer surgery you underwent was a total thyroidectomy or a lobectomy. Generally, after a thyroid cancer surgery, the dosage of thyroid hormone needs to be adjusted based on the levels of T3, T4, and TSH in the blood. I recommend that you have regular follow-up tests to ensure timely adjustments, maintain a normal internal environment, and influence tumor growth, preventing its recurrence or progression. If well-controlled, you may be able to enjoy life happily, just like patients with hypertension or diabetes! Wishing you happiness every day!For severe thyroid cancer patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly trusting advertisements or using over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
