Calcium is low. Likely vitamin D is low

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking

Essential to regularly retest vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

I will check but not lately. What about my thyroid function 🤔 pls?

Looks good to me - do you feel well? Can't see a free T4 result, but TSH is nice and low and free T3 is nice and high without going over-range at 70% through range. So you're def not over-medicated, but if not feeling tip-top there's scope to increase your meds a bit - eg 150 mcg x 4 times a week x

fT4 ie. ( Free Thyroxine top of the page) , is 30.49 [11.9 - 20.3 ]So that is very over range,

TSH 0.011 [0.3-3]

fT3 5.6 [3.5 -6.5 ]

On this basis it's not a great idea to increase Levo any more.

many doctors would not be ok with allowing T4 this over range, but i assume that since 'oncologist' is mentioned, they are deliberately keeping TSH supressed . And so that explains why they are saying these results are ok.

Well spotted! Yes, agree that prob best not to increase levo further with this free T4 result
