Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2004 and was prescribed 50 mcg of Levothyroxine at that time.
In Nov. 2007, has thyroidectomy for goiter causing compression syndrome: left lobe, thymus and right lobe removed. Shortly thereafter was bridged up to 125 mcg Levothyroxine. Started feeling a fullness in my neck in Nov. 2008 but ultrasound showed the thyroid gland was not demonstrated in the ultrasound of the right and left hemimandible made at that time. In Mar. of 2009, i started losing myt voice, it was becoming more hoarse and another ultrasound was done. The results were: The left lobe either measures 3.84 x 1.73 x 1.61 cm or represents a recurrence of thyroid tissue, possibly malignant. Absent right lobe of thyroid gland. In May of 2009, a thyroid uptake and scan was performed which stated: The thyroid images demonstrate an asymmetry in thyroid lobe size with a right-sided dominance. In Jun. 2009, has lab tests the results being:
TSH: 1.356
T4: 1.42
Thyroid Peroxidase: 365
Antithyroglobulin: 22
T3: 3.5
I have an Endocrinologist appointment in November but was wondering if there is anything i should be doing while i wait?
Thank you.
