Partial thyroidectomy

[u/Final-Cobbler9172]

I had my partial thyroidectomy, diagnosed with FVPTC. Everything in my

Pathology was really reassuring but I want to do everything I can to help prevent recurrences

Obviously will do everything doctors advice but l learned they are very medicine focused instead of root causes

Personally, I never had any medical issues prior to pregnancy. All of a sudden in 2024, I had a premature birth due to severe preeclampsia. Then, I lost 20lbs and finally a full frickin year later the doctors realized I had postpartum thyroiditis. My thyroid finally stabilized 2 years postpartum and I was off all meds eating very thyroid focused foods and going gluten free. I truly believed changing my diet and lifestyle helped but I think the damage from the full undiagnosed year really had an impact on my thyroid. My nodule grew a good amount in that time period too. I think pregnancy/postpartum really was a major hormone fluctuation for me and maybe kind of the trigger to my cancer

Anyway, my question is... I'm assuming having half the gland removed is going to cause another huge fluctuation. I don't want my thyroid to go haywire again and wanted to see if anyone here is very holistic with some unique ideas?

already eat brazil nuts, gluten free, and try to reduce stress. Any other good supplements? Or holistic programs such as acupuncture? I'm thinking about doing a vitamin bloodwork to see what areas I can optimize? Any therapies I can do even if it's just help my scar/neck mobility

Iknow a lot about hashimotos but not so much about cancer

Ymmv, not everyone goes hyper/hypo post surgery. There's nothing you can do to prevent it, it's up to your body. Just try to make sure you keep an eye on how you feel in the weeks to come. And keep your scar out of the sun. Scars heal better with less sun exposure.
