Does Papillary Thyroid Cancer Affect Fertility?
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?
