Not so far: Your thyroglobulin level is high, but this is to be expected within a few months after receiving radioactive iodine. The TSH is at the lower end of normal, indicating that you are on a good dose of thyroid hormone (but you should take brand only). Chance of recurrence is mostly related to your age and the size of the tumor. If it was under 1.8 cm, the likelihood of recurrence is low.
