removal of usually one malfunctioning of 4 is not a big deal. had one removed mid November last year, a couple weeks of calcuim and D3 supplements and I am fine (though it was probably easier for my surgeon to get to as he had removed my thyroid 3 years earlier LOL)

high CRP can be a marker for cancers but it isn't very specific or accurate, and it is probably more related to your Crohn's...did you also have high blood calcium? why did they suspect parathyroid?
