Thyroid suppression cancer

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2006 and had Thyroidectomy. Also two treatments of Radioactive iodine after treatment I developed allergies to iodine binding agents like Microcrystalline, so I was put on armor thyroid then I don’t what happened but they started adding binding agents to it I could no longer take it. I started getting thyroid meds compound with Tapioca I’ve been doing thyroid suppression for years because of nodules close to my vocal cord. I finally am stabilized the nodules are no longer growing my Dr. said if grows any more will need surgery I have only one vocal cord so it’s a risk of having a Trachea in my throat, losing my voice it is very important that I stay on this medication the FDA is playing with people lives. Help keep compound thyroid legal.
