Brief Answer:
Yes,near total thyroidectomy is indicated in her case.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem.
I have gone through the reports you have attached.
She is having goiter.
Dysphagia and breathing difficulty are due to pressure effect on esophagus and trachea respectively by enlarged thyroid gland.
So this is clear indication for near total thyroidectomy.
So she is candidate for thyroidectomy and it is indicated in her case.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
