dear mrs n.
thyroid cancer link to breast cancer is suspected. evidence (you know the internet garbage can) suggests increased risk once you have thyroid cancer treatment. unclear if it is the radioactive iodine or just a straight link. (doesnt appear to be a link for women the other way). personally i think it is the sudden and complete onset of menopause about a nanosecond after they removed my thyroid that triggered the breast cancer mite. mine is a story about looking out for yourself. advice was dont worry about the lump in your throat, multiple tests show it is benign. i then asked for removal of affected half as i didnt want to deal with it being a problem later. hey, guess what - its follicular thryroid cancer!.... goodbye other half, go via lead room for radioactive I and a year and a half to get stable. after finding internet suspected link to breast cancer kept a good lookout. ending up down that sorry path, lost another year of life. all good now. look after yourself Mrs N and dont take any amount of specialist advice that 'its benign' as ok if they or you find a breast lump...get it out / off.
ps i worship the ground my gp and surgeon walk on. (pathologists - well, ya got it wrong repeatedly. nuf said). gp and surgeon looked after me wonderfully once it was clear what was happening.
pm me if you want to talk about it.
now back on track to gaining CPL Heli and blowing my super on a small heli some time soon. K.
