Does anyone have any questions about papillary thyroid cancer?

Hello. I had total thyroidectomy and RAI 10 years ago for a 2.5 cm papillary cancer nodule with nothing in the lymph nodes. My Tg has consistanly been < .1 and clear ultrasounds, however, this year it jumped to .1 Should I be concerned?

@slmussel, often a single abnormal of thyroglobulin (Tg) is not cause for alarm. Your doctor may order another test to confirm the result or discover an error. Your results will be tracked over time to see the trend rather than one result.
Have you had a chance to review the test results with your doctor? What did you find out?

If the blood test concerns you can’t hurt to call your doctor up I really think it’s absolutely no problem but can’t hurt to call the doctor just to double check and make sure. Sometimes different labs that the bloodwork goes to they move it around they changed it a little bit but basically to me it looks like no problem but double check can’t hurt you feel
I can remember doing exactly the same thing that you’re doing I was getting nuts with these numbers with different labs it changed around a little bit and everything was fine but I went crazy cause I get worried about everything good luck to you call up the doctor just to double check. You will feel better.
