i know someone who has an enlarged thyroid and has it checked regularly and it is getting bigger. She is just in the process of seeing specialists to see what needs to be done. She has been told there is a chance of damaging her vocal chords if it has to be removed..should she be worried about that?
It is interfering with her swallowing at the moment and she has to keep clearing her throat. For those of you who have had it removed, is it a big scar?
Is there any other advice you can give?
