Liver Cancer

Hi Dr. S.
I waiting for transplant with a MELD that hovers around 11. I'm doing pretty good except for problems eating.and some thyroid problems a Ct scan in March showed "non pathologically enlarged lymph nodes bilaterally with some inhomogeneity within the thyroid." I hadn't thought much about it until today.
Today I saw a article that there may be a link between the diabetic med Byetta ( Which I took for over a year around 2006) and Thyroid and Liver Cancer. I know Cirrhosis increases the risk of Liver Cancer and I also Know What Thyroid cancer would do to my chance at a transplant.
Is this a real concern in the medical field now. Or is this just lawyers looking for another payday.
