Hi welcome to HealthcareMagic
The thyroid surgery is not related to pregnancy... But if pregnancy is confirmed, and you need to continue the it, the you must not take any drug which is teratogenic.. because it will cause congenital defects in fetus... most of anti cancer drugs are teratogenic... hence you need to get counseled before getting pregnant...
