T3 t4 tsh

Hi Noxs 

I can't help with your question, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.

You could post this in the ask a nurse section of the online community and one of the cancer nurses will respond within 3 working days.

Hi Noxs

T3 and T4 are the hormones that the thyroid gland produces. TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. The hormones are on a negative feedback. TSH is what instructs the thyroid to make T3 and T4. When T3 and T4 are high TSH eves are low and vice versa

This link isn't about thyroid cancer but it explains the terms.

What you need to know most is TSH - which the doctors generally want kept below  the level of people who have a thyroid - and FT4 (Free T4) which tends to go up as TSH goes down.

Most of the time, we're attempting to get TSH DOWN without driving FT4 up too high.

FT3 - nice to know, generally not so important for most of us.

If you want to post your results, happy to interpret for you.
