I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, should I be more worried about the lump on my breast?
One week ago I had a total thyroidectomy, instead of a partial one because the the biospy showed to be malignant. About six months ago I went and had an ultrasound on a lump on my breast. I was told to just watch it and report any changes and to have a yearly mamogram. Should I be more worried now that I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer?
Yes. I would worry that the cancer may have metastasized which means it is spreading to other parts of the body. Immediately contact your cancer doctor or primary care physician. Don’t hesitate one minute longer before you seek medical treatment.
I know you are worried but, that will help nothing! Go see your oncologist and get treatment.
God bless you you’ll be okay.
Are you concerned that the thyroid cancer is now in your breast or that it’s another cancer? I have never heard of thyroid cancer metastasizing to ones breast, but anything is possible. If you are feeling a change in the lump, go to your doctor. They might suggest an ultrasound to compare your previous one.
