Thyroid desease and breast cancer
Hi everyone,
I have heard that there may be a connection between thyroid deseases and breast cancer. I have read somewhere that thyroid hormones could promote breast cancer either by raising the metabolic rate or by cross talk with the ER pathway.
This thing really concerns me, because the last october my mother was diagnosed with a sublinical hyperthyroidism. During a routine control of the diabete her family practictioner found abnormal level of T3 and T4 and a low level of TSH. I wonder if there is a connection between her hyperthyroidism and her breast cancer recurrence because incidentally the two things occurret almost at the same time.
I know, all this is just speculation, but I can't help myself to do otherwise.
Anyone would like to chime in?
I just opened this thread to let you know that maybe thyroid as well should be taken into the picture.
