I was diagnosed in June 2002. Had a PT and TT in July 2002 and RAI in Sept 2002. Sometime after that, my suppressed Tg was 0.9. When I was hypo for a scan this past April, my Tg was 3.8. My endocrinologist said that he believed that it was NOT a recurrance but unablated remnant. Because of this elevated Tg, he gave me another dose of RAI. (120 mCi, as was my first dose). My April scan had been " clean " even though my Tg was elevated. I'm going back to my endo in Sept. for a TSH test and Tg test. I hope this gives you additional perspective. Good luck! n > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
