Thanks, I did not have any thing to numb the neck - I just was told to lay on the table with my neck tilted back, it really was not that bad - I don't want to do it again, but if I had to I could. My neck is really sore, is this normal? I have been reading on this site so many of the stories of cancer and it does not seem as rare as the doctors claim it to be. For those of you that are recovering from thyroid cancer, were your blood tests normal or did you have a known thyroid issue like hypo/hyper?
I'm not sure but 12 sticks w/o knowing it was coming .. well, you are brave! Let us know the results .. we will wait with you.

Were the doctors endos? What are your test results? As for the raspy voice - It can be related to both hypo and nodules in the neck. My voice has changed - and I am unsure if it has to do with being hypo or the nodule - or for that matter -- the meds. I jus know it is different.
My ENT addressed the voice change and he feels it has to do with the nodule I have.
