Re: Tsh low -- what does it mean?

Be aware that T3 can drive breast cancer
I believe this is true in my case. My cancer was dx within a year of my doc putting me on limited synthroid to resolve the TSH issue. After 3 months, I developed incredible itching, which I later learned was a cancer symptom. I stopped the drug, and was dx a few months later at my annual screening. I have subsequently undergone testing for thyroid antibodies (3 different kinds) and I came up negative for all of them. My TSH is still in that 6 - 7 range, not getting higher with time. Unfortunately, it does affect my pulse and bp. My doc says the bp issue cannot be resolved unless the TSH issue is. It is a catch 22.
