My liver panel was back to normal last tuesday except for the biliruben which was still slightly high, though it could be in the normal range by now. So my liver has recovered very quickly and quite well which I am happy about. I’m just not sure I want to go to such a permanent and final treatment without even trying tapazole. I am going to ask my endocrinologist at my appointment tomorrow and see if she will relent and let me try it, maybe with weekly blood tests to check my liver. The hepatologist said I would have no lasting effects from the hepatitis and didnt see why I couldnt try tapazole with extra care and monitoring. They all seem to have different advice. Either way, I’ll still see the surgeon next week just because I am curious as to whether they would want to do a full thyroidectomy or just a partial.
