Your right. I was told lots of females have thyroid problems. Please everyone .. Get your t3 t 4 and antibodies checked with your tsh.

It is strange. However when dealing with genes that go astray perhaps the strange is not.

I have requested these additional tests and my pcp refuses. Says the tsh gives her all the info she needs. It can be frustrating. I have not had my thyroid removed but my calcium gets really high sometimes, then she takes me off it for awhile. I just want to be normal again. Is there a connection between breast cancer, which I've had, and thyroid?

Time to find a new primary care physician, one with a broader understanding of thyroid issues.

Absolutely, not true. Thyroid is tricky and sometimes a balancing act. T3 and T4 are important and also Free T3. Has she checked out why your calcium level is high - that's also important. Don't know about the connection with breast cancer. Perhaps you may want to look for a new doctor. That's not easy especially if you like this doctor. Good luck.
