Hi, this is my first post. I am by no means an expert but this was my experience.
I was diagnosed with Graves in June. The RAIU and U/S came back with a high uptake and "ill defined…" etc. My TSH was at 0.02 when I first went on methimazole and a beta blocker. It really helped with the palpitations, not so much for the TSH. That never came down before surgery. I think I saw the ENT about a month after being diagnosed, and surgery was about a month or 6 weeks after that. I had already had half removed years ago. I did have papillary cancer and Hurthle cells present.
I wish the best for your surgery and recovery.
