Actor Jin Tae-hyun shared the changes he experienced before and after his thyroid cancer surgery.
On the 28th, a video titled "Park Si-eun and Jin Tae-hyun's 2-Month Review of Thyroid Cancer Surgery Pros and Cons" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Park Si-eun Jin Tae-hyun Small TV'.
In the video, Jin Tae-hyun mentioned that he has changed a lot after the thyroid cancer surgery, saying, "Fortunately, my voice returned from the day of the surgery. However, my original voice is a low tone, and now high notes are a bit difficult."
He also mentioned the swelling around the wound, stating, "There is still a lump under the surgery site below the Adam's apple. It feels like someone is applying a 5% pressure on my neck."
He often forgets to apply the medication on the surgical wound. Jin Tae-hyun said, "There is medication that needs to be applied to the wound, but I keep forgetting. I want to advise those who are about to undergo surgery to place the medication all around the house."
He also shared the advantages he felt after the surgery. Jin Tae-hyun said, "Above all, I feel emotionally stable. The fact that there are no cancer cells in my body is a psychological comfort," adding, "Of course, there is a possibility of recurrence, but I am currently confident that I am healthy."
Regarding the warning symptoms he felt before the surgery, he said, "I think it was about 4-5 years ago when I was under extreme stress. Since then, I felt extremely tired around 3-4 PM," adding, "I didn't want to do anything for 3 years, but after the surgery, the fatigue has disappeared."
However, he also clarified, "This is a very personal experience."
He mentioned that his eating habits have changed as well. Jin Tae-hyun said, "My mindset about health has changed. I used to rely on snacks and cola, but since I stopped eating those, I can definitely feel my body getting better."
Jin Tae-hyun married actress Park Si-eun in 2015. He underwent thyroid cancer surgery last June and has recently been receiving public support while sharing news of his recovery and rehabilitation routine.
