Hi Hazel, I have just had some blood tests done, my thyroid was border line (whatever that means) so they will do another in 3 months, all others were fine.

Hazel, Nobody has mentioned that to me. My last of 30 RT was in May so perhaps they will tell me later down the line. I’m with Belfast Trust & they seem to do things very differently to other parts of UK. I’ll ask at my next check up. Thankyou for alerting me.

Mmac, I’m with Belfast as well, finished in Jan. As luck has it I am actually due my 3 month check up this afternoon so I will ask ENT consultant and let you know

They don’t. Somewhere between 20% to 40% of patients develop hypothyroidism.
They don’t tell you about keeping an eye on carotid arteries either. I worked the thyroid bit out, knowing my anatomy and the fact that submandibular salivary glands lying just above your thyroid, are slaughtered by RT. The damage to your blood vessels I learned from a post here from Hellebore1 

Carotid arteries. Keep your cholesterol low and take statins 

Thanks Brian, much appreciated. M
