Are you sure they did the thyroid check? Its not usually part of a average blood check up. I would also ask about testosterone (if you are male) but you mentioned menopause. That could that have an impact, especially when you are recovering from OC treatments. Check with your doc if you are able to take a multivitamin. I would also recommend talking with a dietician who is experienced in treating cancer survivors. Since your body is still in recovery mode your nutritional needs are different than someone who hasnt been thru what you have.
Hope you feel better soon!
