<font color="purple">The same PDOC told me on my first visit that Hashimotos Thyroiditis was cancer... We were discussing my medical history and I told him how I was once misdiagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis (I had several subsequent doctors say I didn't have a thyroid disorder and all my labs were normal)...
Hashimotos Thyroiditis is absolutely not cancer---- it's a thyroid disorder where your thyroid hormone levels can fluctuate, but it certainly is not a cancerous condition, and is seldom extremely harmful to where it causes permanent damage. I didn't bother to correct him on that issue, thinking it a harmless mistake that he mixed one condition up with another that wasn't related to my care.
In retrospect, I see this as further evidence that the PDOC was senile, and that was a red flag I ignored. </font>
