Well, they took out the first lobe in the morning sent it to pathology and found out it was cancerous (they had thought it was benign from the fine needle aspiration). After that the surgeon booked me in for my second surgery that afternoon to take the other lobe out. It turned out not to be cancerous but they felt that it's better safe than sorry, so both were removed. Being 19, I didn't really think much of it and my parents were alot more worried then I was...lol...I guess it's that whole teenager invincibility thing.
No I didn't get my own room after surgery, I was in a ward room so their were 3 other people in the room with me. I was 19 at the time though and these women were much much older than me so I didn't really talk to them much. My family visited every day though after the surgery.
I think I had to wait to get two months for the radiation because they're waiting for the body to go into 'hypothyroid' mode.
