donna28; highly unlikely. The worst thing
that will happen is it affect the
production of the hormones that it
produces. Becoming hypothyroid.

My understandking is that it is only
certain types of radiation that would
cause thyroid cancer. So if it is affected
it would just be in hormone production.
But you should definitely get your thyroid
function checked a couple of times over
the next few months to see if it has been
affected, and take the proper action if it
has.

Donna, if it has affected the productivity
in any way, your doctor can, if necessary,
prescribe the proper meds to rectify the
issue. Something that is regularly done.
This will replace the hormones that are
missing or are in excess. Just keep a good
follow up with your doc and follow his
advice.....
