a person I work with has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and this person has had breast cancer and is also diabetic, I feel really bad for them. Although they do not appear to be worried and assure me that it is not unusual to have thyroid cancer I have my doubts.

It is possible that the breast cancer has spread to the thyroid, which can be tough to treat because it can grow and spread so quickly. The key here would be to catch it early, which sounds like what she has done.
The more probable scenario is that the thyroid cancer is caused by a thyroid malfunction, which is common. Thyroid nodules are usually benign and can be decreased in size with thyroid medications. If the nodules are cancerous, thyroid surgeries are very common and have a high success rate.
If she beat the breast cancer, she can beat the thyroid cancer too. You sound like a kind and caring person. Be supportive and have fun with your friend.
