At that time there was no information on anticardiolipin or antiphospholipin. Luckily, the physician who treated me was fresh out of residency and had just learned about this antibody. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have since had a total thyroidectomy and 2 parathyroids removed. Could the blood clotting disorder have anything to do with the development of this cancer? I don’t have any history of radiation exposure. Although I am a critical care nurse, I have always used a neck shield during special procedures when there was exposure to radiation. I don’t like the idea of having cancer in my body – and although the doctors say that it did not spread – I still wonder how it came about. I appreciate anything you have to offer.
