Yeah, actually, extreme fatigue can be a symptom, especially because thyroid hormones directly control your energy levels. If the thyroid gland is damaged or removed, you will feel super exhausted. Definitely get a doctor's opinion if you or someone you know is feeling this way.
Oh god, extreme fatigue is so scary and it makes me worry about the worst things too. While cancer can cause tiredness, please remember that simple thyroid issues like hypothyroidism or even low vitamin D can also make you feel exhausted. Please don't panic, but do get a proper checkup soon.
I panicked so badly when I had chronic fatigue and a swollen throat, thinking it was something very serious like thyroid cancer. It turned out to be a simple throat infection and mild vitamin deficiency. Try to stay calm, as most times it is something very treatable, but do consult your doctor.
Fatigue is a very common symptom when your metabolism is disturbed. If there is a thyroid cancer diagnosis, the body's energy balance is definitely affected, leading to severe tiredness. It is crucial to manage your diet carefully under a doctor's guidance, but please don't skip your main clinical treatments.

Please do not ignore persistent fatigue. I once ignored my extreme tiredness thinking it was just work stress, and it turned out to be a major thyroid issue that took months to correct. If you are feeling unusually tired, go to a doctor and get proper tests done immediately.
