Hello, I am new here, I was diagnosed with Graves about three months ago. The doctor suggested to me to have a thyroidectomy, never even mentioned the RAI. I have a goiter about 4 centimeters. I had a biopsy and was benign(spelling?), thank God, I was so scared. I go back to the endo in 5 weeks, I have to keep taking the methimazole, and hopefully my labs will be allright, I just want to get the surgery over with! I have noticed so many people with scars on their neck and asked them about it, and they have had the surgery, no one said that it was horrible, just a sore throat for a while, but they are feeling much better after. I wish everyone the best!
