Hello, Charlie_88.

Thanks for posting.

It’s understandable to feel concerned about how chemotherapy might affect your thyroid, especially when you're already managing Graves’ disease.

Since your team has mentioned there's a high risk of it being triggered, it’s important to keep in close contact with them as you begin treatment. They’ll be in the best position to monitor things and adjust your care if needed.

If you ever feel unsure or would like to talk things through with someone, our nurses are also available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. They’d be happy to listen and offer guidance where they can.

Hopefully others in a similar situation will be here shortly to speak with you and offer advice as talking with those who can relate does seem to help.

Wishing you all the very best as you start your treatment.

Best wishes,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
