hello madam,
you had thyroid cancer for which u had thyroid surgery . Now the problem with breast is no where related to the thyroid cancer . As the examination and USG finding suggest dense breast and two biopsies also negative for malignancy . As i suggest get one yearly mammograph examination (X-RAY) and self examination. If u feel any lump or any x ray findings suggest microcalcification or other distortic features u can approach consultant immediately .As of now no need to worry about the breast and lead a happy life.
