Has anyone ever had thyroid surgery for a follicular neoplasm? I need to know if surgery is a good way to go.?

Is surgery a good way to go or should I just have it watched for the thyroid?

if i am not mistaken,your doctor should advise you whether you need surgery or not.he also wil decide what measure to take depending on how high your thyroid level is.sometimes all you need is a tiny drop of radiation to bring it down to a safe level.talk to your doctor.
