Re: Thyroid desease and breast cancer

I was dx with subclinical hypothyroidism 12 months before by bc dx. I tried, unsucessfully, to take Synthroid (i.e., thyroid hormone) for 4 months before I developed the most horrible itching imaginable, which I have since learned was most likely my immune system reacting to the bc. I stopped the Synthroid and was dx with bc 8 months later. I am certain that this is what precipitated the bc.
