My name is Beth, I'm 29 and I live in Arizona. I was recently
diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and after having a fine needle
aspiration, the biopsy came back showing that I have papillary
carcinoma as well. From what I've been told by my doctor, it's a rare
condition to have hyperthyroidism with thyroid cancer and that it can
cause the cancer to be more aggressive. I can't find a whole lot of
information on the internet regarding both conditions together, and
was hoping maybe someone out there has experienced the same thing. Any
information would be helpful, because to be quite up front it's pretty
scary to hear cancer and aggressive in the same sentence and be
uninformed...
Thanks,
Beth
