Wow you had your plate full too.. I'm old. 😆 67 and in 2 places plus my
thyroid is either very inflammed or tumor getting ready to start growing he
said. They will look. I go Monday for what kind. What thst Dr said is
ridiculous! CTD and other autoimmune diseases can push the risk 3 to 4
times. Cancer can now increase my chances for more strokes 3 to 4 times
higher now, even with a blood thinner. No high BP ever either. I have
small blood vessel disease though... Please take care. I'm sorry you have
side effects still.. I have to have chemo and radiation..

I started with SLE) lupus) age 40, then Type 1 diabetes, DCIS breast cancer w Pagets in the nipple, Hasimoto's disease, Raynauds, and most recently PMR. I'm now 79. So, yes, they can go together.

Thank you for your good reply! But if you read what I wrote you'll see that I WAS in my 30's. By your account I'm old too, 68 and older than you! Just don't forget your immune system is a part of who you are when you have cancer!
Yes, side effects but nothing life threatening at the present time. Please let us know what kind of cancer you have, and what treatment too.
Wishing you strength in mind and body, peace for your spirit.
