Secondary Cancer

I have been anemic for 2+ years now and there are multiple lymph nodes under my jaw that have been swollen for 6+ months. Labs have shown low RBC, low Hemoglobin, and low Hematocrit every CBC lab for almost 3 years now - my WBC is currently low, but hovers around normal (never above low normal). My iron panels have all been normal this whole time; however, my endocrinologist and PCP continuously tell me to take more iron supplements. I contacted UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and they recommended that I TELL my care team to refer me for diagnostic tests and not to ask for their recommendation. I’m now waiting for the cancer center to review my medical records and reach out for an appointment.

Has anybody been diagnosed with Leukemia or Lymphoma after Total Thyroidectomy and RAI? Thank you!
