Cancer is big on dad's side.
Grandfather had prostate cancer. He had 6 brothers. One died in WW2. Of the remaining 5 only one didn't have cancer. One of them even had thyroid cancer. We also believe thier father had cancer. He committed suicide in 1928 for financial AND health reasons. The cousin who just passed away with AML also had a thyroid mass.

On mom's side, Mom has CLL and survived Breast Cancer and her grandmother had stomach cancer.

My dad also having a multinodular goiter puts me at a higher risk for pappilary carcinoma (thyroid) and my mom having CLL puts me at a higher risk for lymphoma. Plus, (ashamed) I'm a smoker for 29 years. That's why my doc ordered the CT's for me and that's why we are going to keep an eye on the thyroid nodule. I know here that at least 2 of my doc's wont ignore any signs of cancer. The cryoglobulin test (which was normal) can be a cancer marker as well.

I'm going to discuss those risk factors with my endo as well as my symptoms and see what I can get from it. He just talks with a heavy accent at a very low volume...
Have a great day!
