no. when i had a total thyroidectomy 44 years ago surgeon told me he been very careful to avoid damage to the parathyroid. he said he thought permanent loss of the parathyroid would be worse than thyroid cancer which can be treated with surgery and iodine131 ablation.
i had a thyroidectomy. does that mean my parathyroid was removed? i have severe osteoporosis -3. 5 t score. i am looking for causes.
