Carcinoma On Right Thyroid Removed. Fainting Sensation, Nausea, Buttocks Numb. Remedy?
I have had MRIT radiation to my neck for sarcomatoid carcinoma found on my right thyroid. It was removed. I had 2 tx a day for 20 days. Now when I bend my head forward I get a fainting sensation, nausea, my neck to lower back tingles and my buttocks become numb. My radiation oncologist has moved and my family doctor is unavailable. This is getting worse. He changed the last 10 radiation treatments for fear of to much radiation to my spine. I am hoping this will get better. What can I do to get this to stop?

Dear Sir, Hi! Very sorry to hear about your condition. Kindly check your thyroid balance and serum calcium and serum albumin. Likely that your symptoms may be due to hypo calcemia or under functioning thyroid. Regards!
