My aunt is the one who has been looking after me and my brother after the death of my parents in an air-crash. Now that she is getting old, it's my turn to look after her. Before she did not pay any attention to her health, she was busy looking after me and my brother. She used to suffer from thyroid problems but now the situation has aggravates. She has got a thyroid goiter in her neck and she is supposed to undergo a surgery to remove that goiter. Unfortunately my aunt is not ready to do that surgery, she is afraid of any kind of operation. She heard of a medication called synthroid (cytomel t4) which is used to treat thyroid problems and she would like to be on medication instead of undergoing a surgery. What do you think is the best way?? The surgery or medication?? Will she be at risk with the surgery??
