Hi there!
First time poster here but long time reader. I'm a 26 year old male who had a TT in June last year for the treatment of a Papillary Follicular variant Thyroid cancer, I also had RAI treatment in November. Considering the size of the tumour (8cm) I was very lucky and my prognosis has been good from the start. I'd say im in a position which I imagine many people can empathise with, in that im extremely happy to be essentially cancer free but im still far from feeling good (Brain fog, fatigue, achey, feel down etc) I know its been a relatively short time since my operation but ive done a lot of reading and come to understand if I ever really want to feel 'normal' again I need to take it somewhat into my own hands.
This is where I would really appreciate some input from people who are more in the know than I am. Ive just had my latest blood results back and everything was considered 'within range' and therefore no further action to be taken, but from what I understand in range does not necessarily mean its anywhere near optimal and that's what I would really like to work towards. Im currently taking 175mg of Levo before bed and ive been taking a basic multi vit with iron in the mornings. I think my free T4/T3 levels are looking ok but I was thinking my ferritin and B12 levels are a little low and this could maybe be contributing to some of my symptoms.
TSH - 0.46 miu/L (0.35-5.00)
Free T4 - 17.2 pmol/L (9.0-19.0)
Free T3 - 4.2 pmol/L (2.9-6.1)
Serum Ferritin - 65 ng/mL (22-275)
Serum Folate - 10.0 mg/L (3.0-20.0)
B12 - 337ng/L (140-682)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
