Thyroid problems caused by Cancer treatments

Thyroid problems caused by Cancer treatments

I had mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation for invasive breast cancer. I now take Armidex as I was estrogen positive. I had nineteen lymph nodes removed and radiation above my collar bone and on my throat. My question is can this treatment affect you thyroid.?

Dear Fireman_222:  If the thyroid was in the field of radiation, it is possible that there could be exposure.  Of course, some people develop thyroid problems without any "explanation."  If you are concerned, you should discuss this with your doctor.
