Always get copies of lab reports and learn to read them. We can help you with that. Normal is not always optimal. "Normal" is just a setting on the clothes dryer.

When you get those reports, you may wish to post your results here together with the exact name of each test and the reference ranges.

It would also be a good idea to have a thyroid sonogram from time to time. Radiation exposure puts you at risk for thyroid cancer. It would also be good to get your Free T3, Free T4, and TSH numbers optimized to prevent thyroid cancer.

I have had four cancers: follicular thyroid carcinoma, breast carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma on my nose, and most recently, non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I only had chemo for the lymphoma. It did screw up my endocrine system in that I now experience incomplete or non-conversion of certain s*e*x and adrenal prohormones to their target hormone. I never did convert T4 to T3 very well and suffered greatly during my ten years on $ynthroid, which is T4 only.

How are you feeling?

>> I am a breast cancer survivor and recently had a PET scan. It showed that my thyroid is inflamed. I called doctor and he had me take blood test which sowed my numbers are normal. I was taking synthroid during both tests. Does anyone know if that is normal?> > Sent from my iPad>
