Concerning getting a second reading on my biopsy. Is one other reading sufficient? Do I simply go to my Doc. that performed the FNA and request that my slides be sent for another opinion? And should I choose someone that is close to the region I live in? Thank you so much for your help!
Depends on who read the slides -- if it was not a university-based expert, then would send the slides to an expert for second opinion prior to committing to surgery. Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, U Penn (Dr. Baloch), U Florida (Dr. Massoll) are all options for a second opinion (among others).
Most do very well with levothyroxine for post-operative hypothyroidism.
