Blood results

Heya Mags,

So sorry, this one slipped through and decided to hide from me! But I've found it now!

Have you changed how you're taking your meds as I outlined last time? Did you find out what your TG was in your bloods before these ones?

As you say, your TSH is too high and needs to be down at 0.1. Your T4 is at the top end of 'normal', but that's usual for us thyroid cancer folks. T3 is ignored as it's not really important in this scenario. And your TG is under 1, so it's nothing to be worried about at this point and wouldn't indicate recurrence. You really need 3 increases in TG over 3 consecutive blood tests to start to worry about recurrence.

Hope that helps!

Hi

thanks for the reply ! I’ve had my bloods done again and just got the results today.  Still too high :( T4 17.3, T3 4.0 and 0.65 for TG. Didn’t get the TSH.  Does this mean anything ? I have to ring the hospital tomorrow to adjust my meds xx

Hey there

Did you change how you were taking your medication to the right way?

Did you find out what your TG was previously?

Why no TSH?

Thanks for the reply.  Yes I changed the way in which I was taking my meds.  Couldn’t find my last hospital letter  just had the most recent letter which says my TSH is now 0.65.  They have put my meds up to 200 from 175 but only four days a week.  Bloods again in four weeks xx

I’m getting very confused as the doctor told me my TG was 0.65 but the hospital letter says my TSH is 0.65 xx
