Possible to 1st : Thyroglobulin is a test that is helpful after someone has surgery for the most common thyroid cancer. Thyroid function tests can test how well your thyroid is working. If there is concern for cancer it is helpful to get a thyroid ultrasound and then a biopsy if clinically indicated.

Cancer does not usually present as hypothyroidism, but as a mass, or a lump. The TPO antibody is not perfect. You still may have Hashimotos, or some other form of thyroiditis. Talk to your Endocrinologist. If your TSH continues to rise, or FT4 falls, you should probably take thyroid replacement.
