Very high thyroglobulin, 7 yrs after RAI
I had a thyroidectomy in 2010. I had 100 millicuries RAI. Over the past 2 yrs, my thyroglobulin has risen to 715. Endo gave me ultrasounds and chest xrays. Finally changed endos and waiting for a whole body scan. Has anyone ever heard of such high levels of tg post thyroidectomy and RAI.

High Thyroglobulin
The goal is to take high enough synthroid to keep the count below 1 I think. Getting checked every three months is recommended but I have been going just once or twice a year since my thyroid cancer treatment in 2010. I had a body scan in 2013 that I understand also served as a treatment because you get some RAI in there and can take out small clusters starting but you can only have a certain amount in a lifetime -- like 500 millicures and I understand it can come back. If yours is back, they basically treat it again with RAI I think and it is ablated. How are you getting through this? Do you have some support?
