Here's one that has me confused.

I have thyroid cancer ...had Thyroid removed this January has well has right lymph node. Cancer has now spread into right shoulder bone , one of my ribs ,bit at the bottom of the back and a small spot on base of skull.

I have arthritis in both knees.

My question on Sunday I have 3 sessions of hiccups during the day.

Can't remember the last time I ever had them - must of been sometime last year.Haven't had them since the op until Sunday.

Haven't had them since Sunday. By-product of the operation on the thyroid ? Or am i reading too much into it? 

Ever since I was diagnosed every ache and pain is under intense scrutiny by myself.

Any advice gratefully received. 

  • Hi Marty666,

    It's difficult to advise on this but it may of course be that the hiccups were coincidental, but of course if you have any concerns about this then do discuss this with your doctor.

    You are also welcome to post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum if you'd like to get the thoughts of one of our nurses.

    Best wishes,
