Dana,
Have you gotten in touch with the The Thyroid Foundation of America, Inc. in Boston, MA.
I will send you there web site. Or I have posted it on this site. I had done reseach before I had the operation on my right lobe. I had a wonderful surgeon . If it had not been for the Tryroid Foundatin Of America. I would not have not know as much as I know now about Thyroid conditons. I was lucky I was told that I did well. I went into this operation with no choice , but to have it.

You have to be positive at all time. At least that helps.

Nancy
