Hi all, 

I can't quite believe I'm back here in less than 3 years! Anyhow, in Nov 2019 I was diagnosed with oestrogen receptive Invasive ductal carcinoma. It was caught early and I took quite drastic action, opting for mastectomies. I was given the all clear just before the pandemic and unfortunately didn't get any follow up appointments. Then in January I started to get a hoarse voice, a strange back ache and couldn't shift cold symptoms. My doctor did bloods to check for Myeloma (which came back negative and sent me for an MRI. That scan found no malignancies on my spine but did find an enlarged nodule on my thyroid. Apparently, this nodule was there 2 years ago (news to me) and has grown considerably since. Sure enough there is a 2 inch hard lump visible when I swallow. I had a fine needle aspiration and have had biopsy results today - it's grade 3 which is inconclusive. So I'm having surgery to remove the lump and that side of my thyroid. Further tests will then be done to determine cancer or not
 

Have any breast cancer lovelies also experienced thyroid issues or thyroid cancer. Metastatic breast cancer to the thyroid is very rare but it isn't unknown. 
 

Having an inconclusive result after months and months  of waiting took me by surprise and I can't believe I didn't ask any questions in my appointment. You'd think I'd know better!!! 
 

thank you for reading
