Symptoms

Hi

i had thyroid cancer 5 years ago in 2020 I had a total thyroidectomy and radio iodine.

i have had a sore throat and a dry cough on and off now for 2 months could this be a recurrence of the thyroid cancer I don’t believe it to be a cold has I have no other cold symptoms.

i would just like to know if it could be a possibility of a recurrence of my thyroid cancer

thank you

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Unfortunately, as nurses, we are not able to provide you with a medical opinion on what the cause of your symptoms might be.

    Any symptoms that change, worsen, and/or persist for more than a few weeks, should be checked out by your GP (doctor). Most of the time it is a straightforward explanation and not cancer. But always best to get things checked out for peace of mind.

    I hope that you get help with this health concern soon,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
