Hi,thanks for your query to my HCM clinic.I understand the concerns you have .In my opinion the you are asked to report 2 wks later, as the H.P.report is awaited due to the verification study done on the excised half thyroid removed,as to whether its cancer or not.And thats the reason-as they are not certain on it being cancer or not. If the lump excised is found to be benign adenoma of thyroid, rest thyroid would be kept ,for to maintain it for thyroid for the functional requirement. .If its cancerous-then a toital thyoidectomy would be done.Hence for this You need to consult Surgeon.Hope you would be relieved of your query. with this reply.I would love to mhelp and Wellcome to HCM for more queries.
