BC plus another chronic disease?

So sorry about the double whammy, but you're not alone.  If you use the search feature to search auto-immune diseases (or conditions or illnesses), you will find other threads that talk about how common this is, possibly due to a "distracted" immune system and/or inflammation.  There was also a new thread just yesterday about a book setting forth a theory revolving around pancreatic enzymes.  

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, but many others have reported getting a bc dx after dealing with fibromyalgia, MS, and a wide range of other autoimmune conditions.     (((Hugs)))   Deanna 

I have Type II Diabetes which was totally uncontrolled before diagnosis.  I was too stressed out about losing income from a second part-time job, then being laid off temporarily and re-hired with fewer hours at my current job, to take care of myself.  I blew a huge hole in my immune system, and I think my cancerous cells just loved feasting on insulin and glucose as well as any estrogen produced by my fat cells.  Since my surgery, I am concentrating on getting my blood sugar controlled, exercising, shedding some weight and restoring my immune system to some level of health. It's tricky, though, isn't it?  Good luck to you on your journey.

I have the ILC and CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia).....not to mention a little squamous cell stuff. All diagnosed since Sept '11.

MO has said that he would be more worried about my riding my bike on the street than the BC or leukemia, but then he isn't the one with the dual pathology.... 

Yes, madpeacock, I know what you mean by a juggling act.  I have thyroid problems...I have always been primarily hyperthyroid, but now in the last few months since diagnosis, I am over 3 for TSH, which means I'm leaning towards Hypo it seems.  I also have asthma which I have had for a number of years, but it is primiarily allergy induced.  I use inhalers daily.  SO, BC, Thyroid problems and asthma....I think three conditions simulataneously is enough, would you say??
