I guess I would ask the doc's these questions prior to moving ahead with surgery. The first thing that comes to mind is what is 'abnormal'? Aren't they going to type the cells and let you know what type of abnormality they are dealing with?

My feeling is that if you got so ill from the test, that then you need ALL the info you can get prior to going ahead with a procedure that is a 'no turning back' kind of thing, once started.

Ask your questions now, and be persistant until you get them answered. Thyroid cancers, by the way, are usually slow growing, if it is a cancer. Abnormal doesn't mean cancer. I would get clarification as to what 'abnormal' means.

Surgery is a big deal when you are already sick, and this is not neccessarily going to 'cure' what other ailments you have going on. Take time to research, get questions answered, and weigh the risk versus benefit.

I wish I could help you more with this, as well. It is complex. I can only wish you wisdom, and healing.
