Oh Bath, what a horrible ordeal. I must admit, I don't know much about it but I bet you do now. I am sure you will investigate all your options carefully and choose the best course of action. My GF had her thyroid removed many years ago but I don't recall why. She is 40 and just had her 3rd baby. I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope the news is good. Please keep us updated and keep up the good, positive vibes and that lovely smile on your face
