[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for your query to my Chat Doctor clinic. I understand the concerns you have. In my opinion the are asked to report 2 was later, as the H.P.report is awaited due to the verification study done on the excised half thyroid removed,whether its cancer or not. And that's the reason-as they are not certain on it being cancer or not. If the lump excised is found to be benign adenoid of thyroid, rest thyroid would be kept, for to maintain it for thyroid for the functional requirement. . If its cancerous-then a total thyroidectomy would be done.Hence, for this You need to consult Surgeon. Hope you would be relieved of your query. With this reply. I would love to help and Welcome to Chat Doctor for more queries.
