My tg= 0.2 and tgab= 23(slightly high) does it mean my tg reading are totally unreliable?(pap thyroid cancer)

Try not to worry : Papillary thyroid carcinoma is typically very slow growing and there is little risk. The risks are slightly higher as you age. This is hard to answer without knowing more data about your staging and other risk factors. Given the normally slow growth and your age, the chance that this cancer becomes clinically relevant is low. This is dependent on other factors not given.
