A member asked:
My first breast cancer tested me for tsh and my new doctor tested for fsh, why the different tests and what does each mean?

Thyroid vs ovaries: The TSH looks at thyroid function, the fsh looks at ovarian function. He may have been testing the fsh to see if you are going into menopause.
