Hi
For over 12 months I have been feeling ill, lethargic, aching joints and bones, extreme tiredness and general flu like feeling symptoms. I kept visiting the Dr and was told I was Vit D and B12 deficent and received tablets and 6 injections to resolve but I still felt ill. Due to my age the Dr said I could be peri menopausal and prescribed HRT...after 4 months of taking I was still feeling as ill. Then in Feb of this year i damaged my ankle and I had limited mobility. Due to the lack of mobility I was using a different mirror (held at a different angle) and noticed a lump near my thyroid. I visited the DR but as my thyroid function tests were all ok they felt it wouldnt be anything serious but would send details to the hospital who may decide to just watch and see or may request to see me. The hospital requested an appointment, I was refererred upon examination for an ultrasound, the ultrasound picked up the lump but nothing looked suspicious. A FNA was requested and results were border line, so out of precaution my right hand side was removed...with the view that it was highly unlikely to be cancer. The histology proved it was cancer and my left hand side was removed 2nd August. I will be seeing the Oncologist 19th September to discuss RAI. I am still feeling really ill, aching, Flu like symptoms and tiredness and lethargy. I did have pain in my left breast and a lump was detected by mamogram and was then ultrasound I was told it was benign, but I am now worried as no FNA was done. Is there anything I should be discussing with my oncologist
