Trying to get straight answers about the baby's cyst before I had really met with anyone was like asking a three-legged cat to walk a straight line - impossible!

After I was diagnosed I think I spent 3 weeks straight doing nothing but research! I have read several studies about the increased incidence of breast cancer, kidney cancer and a couple others linked with thyroid cancer - not because of the RAI, actually no cause stated just that they seem to be more common especially in women 30-34 at time of Thyca diagnosis. You have had more than your share and I hope that it is all for you!<br /><br />About the hair - I had it falling out like crazy after my first surgery too and I haven't even hit the hypo phase yet! First TSH is next week so i'm hoping my levels are going to shoot up fast!christy hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292419631673189105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067557850118525183.post-16531032971120120522009-09-09T21:02:01.868-04:002009-09-09T21:02:01.868-04:00These are good questions...I have to admit, I am o...These are good questions...I have to admit, I am obsessive about cancer related research too. As far as having one primary cancer and getting a second...I doubt that you would be so unlucky. I had NHL and now thyroid cancer but everyone thinks it was caused by the radiation I had to treat the NHL. From everything that I've read RAI doesn't increase your risk of secondary cancers, or at most a tiny, tiny increased risk of leukemias. I sure hope that this is true, because after all of the crap that's happened to my body already I must be one big disaster waiting to happen! As far as the hair falling out- mine is too! I think it only took two weeks and I started to notice it. Blah. - KateKatehttp://www.katestowell.comnoreply@blogger.com
