Anybody have Thyroid Cancer that has spread to the breast?
Loading...
I had surgery for thyroid cancer in 2008; and now have estrogen receptive breast cancer. Dr's say although research as of now says these are unrelated, I think it's awfully coincidental.

Well,
Thyroid cancer starts at the thyroid gland, but if the cancer progresses it can easily spread to other organs. So the spread to the breast is not that strange if the cancer was in advance stage. Can you tell me why are you interested in this? Have you had this problem or maybe some of your relatives has this problem? I know that the cancer can be prevented from spreading with radiation therapy and with the chemotherapy. You have to consult your doctor about any questions that you have regarding the cancer and the treatment of the cancer. I hope this helped a little bit.
All the best,
Nelie
