Thyroglobulin rising post-thyroidectomy

We know I had small amounts of cancer left behind, because the tumor was wrapped around my thyroid. I had two lymph nodes removed during the total thyroidectomy Oct '24. Post op I had 35 radiation with chemotherapy.
My point in chiming in here is that every 3 months I am checked with ultrasound and blood tests.
And, you had dozens of lymph nodes removed? Ask where they were.
Second opinion may be wise since your follow up was not diligent.
Take care.

@kmlnj I had my thyroid cancer many many years ago like 25 years ago maybe more. but I do know that my thyroid cancer was wrapped all around my vocal cord and the thyroid . I also had a right left neck dissection and 24 lymph nodes were removed and about a third of them did have cancer in them. I had one round of RAI and hung in there one day at a time!!! for many years my endocrinologist kept my TSH level was very low just in case it started coming back it went multiply very fast so we kept it pretty pretty low for a long time and thank goodness 25 years later my numbers are still good thank the Lord!!! I almost forgot to mention that the variant of thyroid cancer that I had was very very aggressive it was called diffuse
sclerosed variant. I wish you the very very best of luck going forward and investigate as much as you feel it is necessary.
