Parathyroid Problem

[mancmo]

A friend of mine has been diagnosed as having a parathyroid in the right hand side of her neck. This has nothing to do with her thyroid, a parathyroid controls the calcium level in her body.

she has just found out that another parathyroid glad is enlarged and will have to investigate when they remove the first one (end of november) .

she is really worried about this as its not as common as a thyroid. dont think her surgeon knows much about it!

does anyone know much more of this parathyroid just so I can hopefully reassure her ?

thanks xx
