malignant struma ovarii

Hi

I found this site today, fortunately. I am a soon to be 60 year old woman who had an enlarged ovary with a tumor and a cyst.

On July 25, 2013, I had both my ovaries removed. I was diagnosed with malignant strumi ovarii.

I thought all was over.......

Then I saw the endocrinologist who told me that I needed to get my thyroid out, even though it was clear.

I have to see the surgen next week. I will also have to have the radioactive iodine.

After doing research and taking with many people, I think it would be a waste of time to even get another opinion.

This very unusual thing seems to have one cure.

I was so glad to see your post. Please tell me what happened.

I hope you are doing well.

Much thanks

Thyroid Surgery

Lyne,

Why are they taking your thyroid out "even though it's clear"?  If the doctor doesn't have a good reason, then you should seek a second opinion before you submit to surgery.  Even if he does have a good reason, you still might want to get a second opinion, someone other than the surgeon he referred you to.
