1cm cancer found after total thyroidectomy last may. new pet shows no cancer but-tsh was .02 w/ 100mcg levothyroxine during test. results accurate?

Yes: A PET scan works regardless of your tsh. The TSH should be elevated if you were to get a radioactive iodine scan. A PET scan does not require that.
