In 1992 I had a partial thyroidectomy; I had 3 nodules with Hurtle cells (cancer cells) no radiation or chemo was suggested. In 2006 I was dx with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. My first thought was the thyroid cancer cells spread to my breast. My Intern was not sure. Halfway through chemo I noticed brown spotting on the thyroid scar. I have the same brown spotting of the skin on my ankles and my left wrist. I suspect poor circulation. Its hard to hold neck up for long periods of time at the computer without support. Also the chemo has played havoc with my TSH levels, my thyroid meds have had to be changed four times this past year. Still not balanced. How much research is known about Thyroid disease and the use of Herceptin? Anyone understand what this brown spotting on the skin is ?
