Ceesun,
As an infant in the late 40's, a birthmark from my upper back was removed by radiation. I have not had any radiation to the thymus and have not had thyroid cancer; but, I have always wondered if the radiation contributed to my breast cancer which was diagnosed in 2/05. My doctors always seem to be interested in the fact that this was done but usually don't say much. I have had a skin cancer on the scar left by the removal of the birthmark. It's my feeling that the radiation I received as an infant contributed to my breast cancer. But, of course, I will never know for sure.
