chemo and low thyroid
by helenl89, Sep 07, 2009 08:07AM
Does anyone know if chemo can effect the thyroid gland? my mom and dad both have this problem, so i know it may be inherited. Is it possible for this to happen at my age, just turned 50. will be seeing dr on 19th and going to insist on test for this.

I am not sure what your parents suffer from or how it relates to Chemo but I am sure that a competent oncologist will be able to answer questions and do a Thyroid function test.

I have hypothyroid disease and have taken Synthroid since I was a teenager.
Neither my Internist, nor my oncologist ever mentioned chemo affecting the thyroid gland.
I'm glad you're having your thyroid tested, I believe it's inherited as my Mom and Grandpa had low thyroid function.
Keep us posted,
Jane
