Subject: Hyperparathyroidism and Breast Cancer
Date: 05/09/2008

My rheumatologist has been tracking the calcium level in my blood for five years. It is always slightly elevated. I had a bone scan which showed osteopenia. He started me on fosamax.

I finished treatments for breast cancer in March. I went to my oncologist this week for blood workup.

He wants me to return next week to recheck my blood because of the elevated calcium level.

I have been looking on the internet today and it appears that there may be a link between hyperathyroidism and cancer.

Has anyone else had the two conditions?

I too was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism 12 yrs ago when I was 34 yrs old. I had the radioactive iodine drink b/c the meds did not work. I actually read somewhere on the internet that there may be a link between  hyperthyroidism and brst cancer. I am not sure if it mentioned the radioactive drink though. Did you take that drink as well? Kathy
