Your vet is correct about the treatment. Those two disease often occur side by side in older kitties, but they can be balanced with careful treatment.
Did the vet talk to you about alternative treatments for hyperthyroidism?

Your current vet is right about the treatment of both of those diseases.
Alternative treatments (other than medications) would be:
1. Hills' Y/D diet. It is iodine restricted.
2. Radioactive Iodine Therapy
3. Surgery
Ask your vet about those options.
