Thank you all for the well wishes. I am finally back home and resting. The surgery went well and it looks like I may not even need the radioactive iodine. I will find out officially in two weeks, but my surgeon called me with the pathology report and told me that the canc was small and contained so that is great news. The thyroid is gone, and the main complication I have is my parathyroids not functioning right now so my calcium levels are really low and causing lots of unpleasant numbness and tingling and twitching....of course on top of the twitching I already have.
The myasthenia is also kicking my but, but thankfully no complications during surgery... Meaning I came off the vent right away... 
I just wanted to check in, but IM going to rest now as I have little energy and I currently around like marlon Brando in the godfather when I talk...just thought I'd share that with you..... I'll check back in soon when I am feeling stronger. Thank you all for your support,

Mrs. Z had an overactive thyroid and the doctor fried it with radioactive iodyne. So, her thyroid is now dead, murdered by the stupid man that "treated" it with radioactive iodyne. Mrs. Z is now on thyroid meds for the remainder of her natural life.
My advice, never allow any mad scientist or medical practitioner to use that stuff on you.

Thank you all for your support, | So happy all went well with your surgery .I just had a chance to read your post and the harsh answers and l am sorry .Reading your couple of post l realised that you had a disfunctional thyroid .weakness anxiety twitches all thyroid related .The problem is most doctors do a blood test called a TSH. If that is normal they treat for anxiety .The catch all.
But you needed a tsh t3 t4 and thyroid uptake .
Thyroid cancer is common and when caught before spreading is treatable.
I have five friends with thyroid cancer and are doing well
Once you start sythroid l have a feeling most of your symptoms will resolve and you can get off this forum and on with your life
Great news
Pat
