thanks jazzy,id never heard the medical term till recently ,up to consultant to tell me of any complications having it removed ,it is a benign tumour but in a prominent position .at least it isnt cancerous

Ecmdj, I had a benign tumour on my thyroid, but a different sort than yours, mine was an adenoma.
The surgery wasn't too bad, but it did affect my vocal chords for a short while, and I had to have speech therapy. My voice is quite a lot lower than it used to be.
But I had no ongoing problems with it, everything went fine. It was about 20 years ago and all is still well, though I only have half a thyroid and an interesting scar on my neck

Though I know how worried you must be.
Any sort of lump can put your brain into overdrive.

Christine, it must be a relief to have it done.
I had clips in when I had the adenoma removed from my thyroid. My daughters said I looked like the guy in the Highlander movie!
I was worried about having them taken out, but it was completely pain free, a doddle! So don't be worried about that. (In case you were!)
Onwards and upwards for you now my lady.
Best wishes for a very speedy recovery.

Christine, what a frightening experience for you, not funny at all.
I'm glad you got some good and prompt treatment, and your back home.
Now take it easy, no can-can dancing for you for a couple of weeks missus.
Put your feet up and rest.
Take care

Christine, I understand it's not easy to rest, but do your best, cos you need to heal. No prizes for being Wonder Woman
I couldn't do the can-can either without something dropping off
