The doctor, like the other doctors who have checked my thyroid in the past, asked me for the nth time to do a thyroidectomy. No, it's different from anatomy & astronomy! LOL... Let me get my medical dictionary... hmmm... there! Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of the thyroid gland. And for nth time, I said I'll think about it. I know it's the only choice I have other than just letting it inhabit my neck & have the risk of a scary medical word - cancer. But singing is my livelihood so I hate the fact of having a knife cut my throat and having the risk to lose my voice forever. I know there's nothing much to lose in my voice anyway, but man, I don't want to sound like Macy Gray, Rod Stewart or Louis Armstrong. But on the other hand, I can still earn from being an impersonator! LOL... Seriously, I don't want to have it removed unless it's really bothering me aesthetically. But since it's not yet doing that, let's just shelve the thyroidectomy back into the medical dictionary together with its rhyming words!
PS: I'm not really sure you understood my story, but just carry on reading! LOL

i do know what u r trying to explaint and i also can hear a lot of reasons u gave to yourself. but u know the best for yourself. and pls take good care and god bless u.
I also had the same procedure, I have one big nodule on the right side and one small nodule on the left side. My last biopsy result came negative and now I am waiting for my second biopsy. I don't have children and my doctor's advice is to have kids and take care of my thyroid. His reason is that my hormone levels are in range so I sholudn't distrub untill it gives me trouble.
