Hello and thank you for posting.

I am sorry about your concerns surrounding thyroid cancer, do read through our risks and causes page on our website which may be helpful.

It is worth remembering that thyroid cancer is rare so it would be even rarer to have a hereditary link, but if you remain worried do talk to your GP.

Screening for thyroid cancer doesn't happen as standard, but it may be that if referred to a genetics clinic, they might think you qualify.

The doctor who is prescribing the Mounjaro should be aware of your full medical history, so do talk through the benefits, risks, and side effects of taking this drug with them.

Take care,

Sarah.
