I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (1.8cm) about 3 weeks ago. Found a couple of small spots either side of the tumor so I have been scheduled for a right mastectomy. No lymph nodes showing up at the moment but they'll check everything during surgery.
Went for a CT scan last week and a 2cm tumor showed up on my thyroid (reckon 25% chance of malignancy), and suspicious adrenal enlargement (1% chance of malignancy). I had a Fine needle biopsy of my thyroid on Monday and blood and urine tests for adrenals, and am waiting for results next week. I really don't know what to think now. They don't think any of it is metastatic, just really bad luck to have 2, possibly 3 cancers diagnosed at the same time.
Anyone in the same boat? Will they do the breast surgery first and then remove the thyroid once I've recovered? From what I've been researching it seems likely they'll want to remove the thyroid adenoma even if it is benign.
Was just starting to feel a bit better about everything after getting results of the Breast cancer back and dealing with it, now I'm back waiting for results. Utterly exhausted and really don't know what to focus on.
