I had total thyroidectomy done 11-9-15 was papillary, doctor did not test tissue at time of surgery, called 48 hours after surgery no radioactve iodine guven, now neck ultasound shows 3 abnormal lymph nodes in upper neck...does anyone have any opinions on this issue..I'm scared cancer spread

Palberts01,

Have thyroglobulin and thyroglobulin antibodies been monitored annually since your thyroidectomy?

[palberts01 in reply to Clutter]

Yes my thyroglobulin antibody was 1.8 consistently over 6 months

Palberts01,

What was thyroglobulin? I was told that recurrence is unlikely if thyroglobulin remains <6.0.

Thyroglobulin antibody 1.8 doesn't seem high and there is unlikely to be a problem if it hasn't risen.
