Reply to "Thyroid Issue!"

CJBMember

9 years ago (gosh, how time flies) they found a lump on my thyroid too. I had a needle aspiration (way easier than a pouch scope). It did turn out to be cancer and I have since had 2 rounds of radiation therapy and surgery to remove my entire thyroid.

The good/great news is that it is one of the most curable cancers, and none of the treatment affected my pouch in any way. The radiation is in the form of radioactive iodine taken by mouth, so it's not invasive, besides the fact that you are ingesting a radioactive material, of course.

So don't worry too much. 9 years later, me and my 19 year old pouch are still doing great.

Let me know if you have any questions.
