    Thyroid problems anyone?

    I am on synthroid for my thyroid. Is there a connection between thyroid and CF? I also have a mass attached to my tailbone that they have yet to let me know if it is malignant or benign but is the size of a man's fist. Is there a connection between CF and rectal cancer?

    How open are you about CF?
