Thank you for this

I'm waiting for my call next week to go do this for my thyroid cancer. I'm so happy I found your video

Thanks Eleanor, I had surgery on 13/09 and have my review this Thursday (26/09) when I will find out when I will be going to Mt Vernon Hospital for RAI. Useful video to introduce RAI experience 👍

I’m going through this right now. I am six weeks from surgery and I also sing in a duo. My voice is still not completely back. It’s better, but not strong and my high register is still not back. My neck is still swollen and numb.

hello eleanor im always following your thyroidectomy journey and i uust have my both thyroid removal im so sad that my voice really change and you really inspire me both to give up , i just want to ask is this vedio before your surgery or after its amazing

did you get radioactive iodine treatment if i may ask? 🙏🏾🥺 i have the same issue & wanted to know.

How are you doing now?

Hi Eleanor, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. I would like to share the diet with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you stay cancer free. Amen. I would also like to share the following six videos with you about salvation and two videos about evolution: Evolution vs. God th-cam.com/video/uc_W9VtzJ0A/w-d-xo.html DESTROYING Evolution In Under 3 Minutes th-cam.com/video/sWecPwrQv2c/w-d-xo.html Watch the Holy Spirit Work in Her Heart (Very Moving) th-cam.com/video/iBEoI2u6kII/w-d-xo.html Fearing The Lord, God’s Discipline & Sharing The Gospel th-cam.com/video/dES5WW66Mro/w-d-xo.html A Clear Gospel Presentation by Pastor Steven Anderson - How to go to Heaven th-cam.com/video/IXEeMWCxyrQ/w-d-xo.html The Plan of Salvation th-cam.com/video/PmkhRMPvt_0/w-d-xo.html How to Get Saved th-cam.com/video/ajWdkuvrT6s/w-d-xo.html The Truth About Hell (Selected Scriptures) th-cam.com/video/AVzbh_dLq3s/w-d-xo.html Best regards Chris “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Laryngitis coming off a covid infection was my symptom. Lasted for 10 weeks. Then I was informed I have thyroid cancer. I went in to surgery and woke up in the ICU because of an unknown succinycholine allergy. I had the thyroidectomy a month ago, and I cannot speak louder than a whisper.

i just done my thyroidectomy 1 month ago but im still struggling to get my singing voice back

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. How do you feel after 3 years? Do you still feel it’s worth having the treatment?

How are you now?

Well done, I’m about to go through this soon 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

I got my thyroid removed 1,5 months ago. Nothing was damaged and I even could speak right afterwards, but I have NO control in my upper register at all since then. I can speak normally and Im really thankful for that, but Im heartbroken that singing, which was usually easy and fun for me is now hard work and hurts sometime. I still cant reach high notes, my volume is basically gone and I regulary have setbacks, but I refuse to give up singing.

im in 2 days after surgery and my voice's still hoarse

Hello maam Have you had any calcium deficiency after surgery..... I am getting calcium deficiency after surgery... I am very worried about it.

I had my thyroid out 10/6/23 due to cancer. I have been singing my entire life for fun, in school and church. Currently i can't change pitch in my voice. I feel like I have to force the air out to speak. I saw the video in real time where the ENT visualized my vocal chords 2 weeks post op and they were functioning fine. I love singing for the Lord. It's hard but I am holding onto my faith that God will restore it. I'm glad there are others to discuss this.

hmm God have mercy on us musicians

I just had my thyroid removed October 18, 2023. Before surgery, I had a range of C3 to A#5 (middle C is C4). I know I'm less than a month out from surgery, but I'm currently only able to go from C3 to D4. I croak at E4 and F4, and I can't get any higher than that. There was no nerve damage in surgery. I hate this so much. I miss singing. 😭 Literally any help or suggestions would be appreciated

How soon after surgery did u start voice lessons and therapy you might have mentioned it but missed it

God bless you I’m a semi pro singer in a duo with my husband it’s regular paid gigs I just had nodule and half thyroid taken out only a ten days ago I’m trying so hard to find a teacher or therapist who could help me SO far the surgeon says it’s too soon to even go to speech therapy they don’t seem to know that much about issues with singing thank you thank you again best of luck to you and all who are going through this

I’m undergoing RAi treatment next week. I’m incredibly scared. Thanks for sharing your experience

how did you do that to reach the high notes ?? can you tell me more about it ? can you help me ? what kind of processess did you do ? I'd like my singing voice to come back but i can reach the high notes after my thyroidectomy surgery 😢😢😢😢

Thank you, even though this is 3 years ago, I'm wondering now in 2023 do they still keep you in the hospital during your radiation treatment isolation, because I heard you have to be at home. I'm just wondering if they go through so many precautions at the hospital in your room, how in the world would anyone be able to do this at home? I was just diagnosed with a positive result for thyroid cancer and my consultation is in a couple weeks with the surgeon, I'm totally freaking out! 🫣😱🥺

What was your dose? Thanks for sharing

I don’t understand last time you took radioactive and you got surgery? How come. Can you please explain. Thanks

I was told i would do mine at a hotel before my surgery if i need it got the call today that yup i will need it and get to tell my doc im on disability i can NOT afford to stay in a hotel

Thank you so much for posting this, I will have my treatment on Monday and was a little apprehensive as to what to expect - I'm so glad I found this video, you have really put my mind at rest

You are making progress! Yahoo, You looks good now .Have a great day 😊☕

Try taking vitamin D3 ,this vitamin has helped me,Thank you for your update, it's such a relief to know I'm not alone,without thyroids". But I have to be so careful being in the sun". Prayers go up ,be blessed". Me again Priscilla 🦋

I had the radioactive iodine treatment in 1994, this in MU Medical clinic, but back then they sent you home, after treating ,had to stay away from heart pt., Pregnant Mommys, anyone with health issues, yes I was very restricted, I give you all my prayers, I do find myself having a hard time finding Dr.s that doesn't understand ,will lower my synthroid medication, for experiment. Not good." Wish you the best in recovery". GN 🌆 Priscdilla

I had a total thyroidectomy 4 1/2 months ago and have gone from being able to sing operatic music to singing 3 notes yes that's right 3 notes and then it sounds like a boy in puberty. Rather than getting stronger and better it seems to be going the other direction and getting worse. It is such an effort to even speak and singing is totally gone. G-O-N-E gone. At 4 months your speaking voice sounds normal. How fortunate you are.

🦋

1:50 yes the guilt is real

Thank you for the video! Just had thyroid cancer removed a week ago and have not been able to hit high notes! I live in the UK as well, and find your experience comforting.

Thank you so SO much for your uploads ❤

I cant sustain my low registers. Its frustrating 😢

Omg..Godspeed ❤ I just love this video! This really calmed me down 😊 Unfortunately, I too have to go down the same road next month 😢 I just hope I too come out winning 💕🤞💪

It's a really freaky experience for sure. I just had mine removed about 3 weeks ago and I still can't access the higher register of my voice. I know it'll take more time than that for it to come back but I love singing, so this just hurts my soul. I specifically love singing songs from live musicals so I'm coping by watching performance videos. I remember like the first two days, I could barely speak and it was painful to try. And when I did try, it would send me into these coughing fits that made it feel like I had liquid in my chest that I needed to cough up. Thankfully, that gross and painful cough was gone by like day 4. But yeah so I'm spending my time trying to see if I can find any videos of any possible exercises to strengthen the voice after a thyroidectomy. Edit: 5:15 I can't get anywhere NEAR that first note and I'm upset about it 😭

lucky you! i have to do it at home. I have not see any video how to set up the room.

I am 8 days out and am hoping my voice comes back. At the moment have no high range at all and barely have any notes. OH you are doing well.

I'm 8 days post TT, left and central neck dissection. I could easily hit a C6 when warmed up, but right now can barely get near even a C4. I woke immediately with my talking voice, albeit croaky but feel like my voice box doesn't move up anymore. Am I being too impatient do you think, and I need to wait for the swelling to go down first? I've been coping well thus far, but today am terrified I'll never be able to sing again 😢

Hi, I had thyroidectomy but ALOS got my neck fused c3-c7 then a year later got the plate removed and a year later got the backside fused due to a fall. Lost the high range in my voice but my lows became of thunder. So I refound my vocal range and retuned music to fit my range. Over time of some years my range got a bit higher. Never quite what it used to be though.

Thank you dear for making me feel better I was afraid and I didn't want to take it! Stay healthy 🤍

Thanks Eleanor, your voice and energy calms me too ! thanks for sharing! Did they talk to you about the fertility side of it? I might need to to the treatment too and not sure how it will affect fertility? needing to freeze eggs before or not to worry at all ? if you know anything about it please do share it :)) hope you are feeling well now! I see it has been 2 years for you.

I’m post op 2 weeks and so glad I just saw your video ( 10/26/2022) my voice is awful. My throat is killing me and feels like I have a huge lump in my throat and constant phlegm. I keep reading it can take 6-12 months for my voice to return. I had a piece of thyroid tissue stuck to my vocal cords and it took them time to remove it but they assured me nothing was injured. I’m just so scared I will feel like this forever. I’m not a singer so I can only imagine all the fear and frustration you’ve gone through. I hope at this point in your life all is well and your singing voice is back

Thank you for sharing. I have to have thyroidectomy because I have cancerous tumors on it. I have sung in the gospel choir, group and praise team since I was 9years old. Now I am 51 and afraid I won't be able to sing anymore after the surgery 😭. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏

I had my thyroidectomy and lymph node removed a week ago. I've had no advice prior to discharge except see you in 2 weeks for a follow up. My care has been pretty poor.

Thanks for the video, it was the best and most normal radioactive iodine vlog I could find on youtube lol. I have my date coming up hopefully soon, and you definitely helped me calm my nerves. Hope all is well and your cancer has stayed away!

My op is on the 25th and I'm a choir leader. I'm really scare But i know God will working out
