There is also the question of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerves running directly through the
thyroid lobes, they have to be very careful...it is a delicate surgery. Some people with half a
thyroid don't have to be medicated, about 40%, I think I read. I have no thyroid due to cancer, I am fine on medication. I had a lobectomy, and I felt great afterwards, but they did find cancer, so I am thyroid free.
