Thumprhare, my understanding is I had a complete thyroidectomy which means the parathyroids came out and there is no thyroid tissue left, unless there are some cancerous thyroid cells still floating around in my lymph nodes which will hopefully get zapped when I take the radioactive isotope.
My endocrinologist told me the pathology on all my labs hasn't come back yet and he wants to see those before making any adjustments in the synthroid and the isotope treatment regimen which will be coming in around 6 weeks.
