Hi. I am twenty five. I have been trying to conceive for almost a year now with no luck. I have just recently been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. They have removed the right side of my thyroid where the cancer was and I am returning for surgery again next week when they will remove the left side of my thyroid. They are then going to start me on 100mg of eltroxcin. I am wondering if my fertitilty issues had anything to do with having thyroid cancer or will my fertility chances improve once I am on eltoxcin?
Firstly, your fertility issues had nothing to do with the development of this cancer. Also, the treatment being done is correct and scientific. Finally, the removal of thyroid will only adversely affect your fertility issues as you will become hypothyroid. Taking Elton will make you normal, but the fertility issues will remain. Also, when you get pregnant, the dose of the Elton will need to be adjusted frequently.
