I would go for 100% or nothing. Are they hoping that the 10% will function again? Mine was 50% out and the other side never worked again. If I was going to have out the 90% I'd go 100% and go on the meds as there is no guarantee that 10% will work again and what if they find secondary incidental finding of Pap Ca .. then what .. and how do you treat, etc. Please talk to them and find out the exact reasoning for 10% left in .. I'm not a Dr. but I've seen alot here on the community and have personal experience as it relates to me.

Thanks for the advice guys, :)
unfortunately over here in the UK we don't get a lot of say in our health care it kind of what the dr says goes (we don't have to pay for healthcare, so we have no rights - even though it's my body!)
i was told the idea of leaving a bit in was to protect the vocal cords from becoming damaged, i've kind of just fooled myself into thinking it's def gunna come back benign (which i know could be wrong) here's hoping and praying!
my FNA was suspicious follicular cells and no convincingly benign features,
urghh, your right i should have it all out but don't think i've got much choice
