Ok so let's be carefull....
You have had a thyroidectomy because of capilar cancer. If your calcium was that low, the doctor might want to get your calcium level stabalized first before giving you meds to replace it's functions. Why this has not been yet done? No one is to know, and I figure this is good for you too!! Your first step to me, would be that you inqire on this from your surgeon. Get firm answers from him. He/ she has a responsibility to give you all necessary info for your thyroidectomy. The dos, don't, whys, fors,etc.....
I have had a thyroidectomy caused by capillary cancer in march this year. I have also been searching online since september 2005 about the procedure, after effects, risks involved, precautions, treatments, and I can go on. My point is that, if you are concerned about any action taken or not taken by your surgeon, insist on knowing. It's your right!!! Now having said this, if you are not happy with the results of your inquiries, you are not obligated to stay with this doctor. There are some who actually cares about their patients and will be more than willing to help out.
Please keep us posted on developments on your progress....
Sincerely
