Thank you @AHNSEndo for the opportunity to tweet with you today. I will be signing off for now. It was delightful. #AHNSchat

@ThyCaInc A4. Depends on how aggressive the tumor. Generally a lower tsh for a more aggressive or recurrent tumor. Also depends on how long the patient has been stable. #AHNSChat

Q4: This question is so interesting and has to do with TSH. Docs, what are your thoughts? Please start your Tweets with A4 and include #AHNSchat. Survivors, feel free to share your TSH level and remember our hashtag!

@ThyCaInc A2. Hemi versus partial thyroidectomy depends on many factors. Some patients with partial thyroidectomy can go for many many years before needing thyroid hormone. #AHNSChat

Q2: Here’s a question related to surgeries and hormone replacement. Please start your Tweets with A2: and remember #AHNSchat 😊

@ThyCaInc T4 is very beautifully converted in the body to the more active t3. The body converts this process much better than doctors can when they give t 3 in pills. T4 in pills works very well when we give it. #AHNSChat

#AHNSchat @DoctorLisaMoore can you tell us why T4 or levothyroxine is used more commonly?

@ThyCaInc A1. Levothyroxine is t4 and the most commonly used. T3 is liothyronine. This is not used very often. #AHNSchat

Q1: Let’s jump right in with our first question for our doctors. Please start your Tweets with A1: and please include our hashtag #AHNSchat. Let’s learn about T3 and T4!
