I find this thread interesting. I have been on Thyroid medicine since 2001 (Armor Thyroid). About three years ago doctors could no longer get Armor due to it being pulled from market and my doc switched me to Cytomel. At about the 3 yr mark on Cytomel, I was dx with IDC - left breast, 2.3cm tumor. I have no family history of BC and have wondered just how I got this. I have a HER2+ tumor, ER-, PR-. I was researching Cytomel and the production of high level of growth hormones (since I have a growth hormone fed tumor) when I came across this thread. I am highly suscpicious of thryoid or thyroid medication involvement in my BC.
