As we are all familiar with this word “thyroglobulin” very well. I feel the dr’s are not at all emphasising the importance of checking the thyroglobulin levels more frequently for thyroid cancer patients as it can prevent so many recurrence cases. I’m struggling to book a thyroglobulin blood test. I even booked it through private and mentioned 4 times to the staff member and the nurse that I wanted to get a thyroglobulin blood test done, but they ended up doing the thyroglobulin antibodies blood test. People don’t seem to care or acknowledge that people have so much anxiety when waiting for the results and they can’t be so careless. The staff actually told me later when I spoke to her that she is not sure if they even do the thyroglobulin blood test specifically? I was shocked. Because I mailed them, texted them and then went in to give my bloods and this is the response I get after I get the results. Amazing healthcare system they have. If anyone has done a thyroglobulin blood test in private kindly reach out me because I have really lost my peace trying to get this done.
I'm sorry to read about the difficulties you're having getting a thyroglobulin blood test. It sounds like it's been a very frustrating time.
