Please help...I'm confused and I think my doctor is too

Heres a quick history.

I had the right side of my thyroid remove in 2010. Upon biopsy, they descovered I had cancer. It was small enough that they got it all and I didnt need treatment.

I have chronic sinus infections and a history of ovarian cysts.
Here's my problem.... My urine calcium is 3Xs the max limit, my blood calcium is 9.6 and the have found that I have a small amount of IgG in my Urine.

My doctor has told me it could be caused from one of three things... She said, parathyroid dease, cancer....after she said cancer I didn't here what the third thing was.

Has anyone have any idea what this could all be caused from?
Physically, I am always tired and unsteady.

Anything really...Please help me understand this.

Did your doctor test our thyroid levels?  It was my understanding that you can still go hypo and need supplementary meds if your left side is not managing to produce enough hormone?   I had 3 sinus infections in a month when I was hypo - I think swelling of tissue and dehydrated nasal passages cause it and I got through with a cortisol nasal spray that I used daily.

Sorry I can't help with the urine calcium;  did she test magnesium as well.

I would've thought you were subclinical hypthyroid at least?
