- Hey! Welcome to my channel!
This week I wanted to bring you all up to date with my singing journey after having surgery to remove my thyroid last year. It's been a roller coaster to say the least but hopefully you can see that things are now looking a lot more hopeful!

I really want to create a positive and uplifting place to talk openly about my experience with having thyroid cancer, all the way from diagnosis to post surgery recovery.
It is such a rare form of cancer and is unfortunately very common in young women, I couldn't think of a better way to raise awareness and help others than by sharing my story.
I want to start off by saying that I am not a medical professional. I am simply sharing my story as if you are listening to a friend. If you have any concerns please see your doctor for proper care and medical attention.
As always I am so grateful for all the love and support I have received. Please subscribe if you find my video interesting and feel free to share if you think it would be useful to anybody else!
Lots of Love, Eleanor xxxxx

I’m going through this right now and thank you for making these videos because there is so little out there about singing after thyroid surgery. Thank you
I’m really glad I’m able help in a small way! If you ever want to chat about it my dm’s are always open on insta. Wishing you all the best on this journey. It gets easier 💛
Thank you for sharing. I have to have thyroidectomy because I have cancerous tumors on it. I have sung in the gospel choir, group and praise team since I was 9years old. Now I am 51 and afraid I won't be able to sing anymore after the surgery 😭. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏
God bless you I’m a semi pro singer in a duo with my husband it’s regular paid gigs I just had nodule and half thyroid taken out only a ten days ago I’m trying so hard to find a teacher or therapist who could help me SO far the surgeon says it’s too soon to even go to speech therapy they don’t seem to know that much about issues with singing thank you thank you again best of luck to you and all who are going through this
Hi thank you so much for your Videos 💜 I will have my thyroid removed very soon... I am really scared but your videos gave me so much hope
Hey! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it really does mean so much! Good luck for your surgery, I’m sure it will all go well! 💓 xxx
I had a total thyroidectomy 4 1/2 months ago and have gone from being able to sing operatic
music to singing 3 notes yes that's right 3 notes and then it sounds like a boy in puberty.
Rather than getting stronger and better it seems to be going the other direction and getting
worse. It is such an effort to even speak and singing is totally gone. G-O-N-E gone. At
4 months your speaking voice sounds normal. How fortunate you are.
Thank you so much for this video - TT on Jan 2021, 9 months out and still working to regain my singing voice..
Thank you for the video! Just had thyroid cancer removed a week ago and have not been able to hit high notes!
I live in the UK as well, and find your experience comforting.
You are making progress! Yahoo, You looks good now .Have a great day 😊☕

Try taking vitamin D3 ,this vitamin has helped me,Thank you for your update, it's such a relief to know I'm not alone,without thyroids". But I have to be so careful being in the sun". Prayers go up ,be blessed". Me again Priscilla 🦋
How soon after surgery did u start voice lessons and therapy you might have mentioned it but missed it
hmm God have mercy on us musicians
It's been 1 year already for me after my surgery. I still can't sing in a range as I can before. Any tips for fast improvement?
Hi! I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost a bit of your range, I can understand how frustrated you must feel. I would definitely suggest trying to get in touch with a speech therapist or going to someone who deals with voice rehabilitation. I went through those processes and found it so helpful! Also gives you the peace of mind to know you’re not causing yourself any damage!
I would recommend doing vocal warm ups through a straw into a glass of water, you’ll be able to find CZcams videos of someone explaining it but that’s one of the best things to work on your voice in a safe way! I hope that helps! Good luck! 💓💓💓
Hello I’ve gotten this surgery Did this surgery cause your menstrual to come late ? Due to the amount of hormones it provides
Hi Ellen, I remember for years before my surgery that I used to have very irregular periods. As soon as I had the operation I had a period and they have been regular ever since. I did wonder if it would change anything but so far I haven’t had any problems xx
