KK1, my thyroid is sluggish also and has been for a year or so. I believe the last test was 4.5, with 5 being the cutoff for dealing with the problem. Weight gain has been on the increase for me too. About 15 pounds in 8 months. I'm also taking Arimidex and Herceptin, which may add to the increase.
My onc suggested that I see an endrocronologist for the thyroid problem and also to see what he would suggest for my recent test showing a decrease in bone density. I'm not sure why the oncologist is not giving me something to prevent more bone loss. Will have to question him more the next time I see him. I asked him (through the nurses) if I should be getting something to prevent the next step, osteoporosis, but he said no.
What number did your thyroid show?
