Worried about recent test results

My most recent test results are concerning. I've never had elevated Tg antibodies, only slightly elevatdd Tpo.

TPO 210

Tg 971

TSH 1.85

T3 3.2

T4 17.3

What could the high tg anti mean? I'm worried about Thyroid cancer since I have never had this befire and I thought that only tpo was linked to autoimmunity.

About 90% of primary hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroid disease, usually diagnosed by high TPO and/or high TG thyroid antibodies

medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/t....

Significant minority of Hashimoto’s patients only have high TG antibodies (thyroglobulin)

Your TSH is quite high for someone on levothyroxine

What’s the range on Ft4 and Ft3 results

How much levothyroxine are you taking

How do you feel

Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

Post all about what time of day to test

when were vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin last tested
