So maybe my doctor has been missing something that explains why I I have been feeling progressively more crap for the last year

Buggerit!

Was nosing through some old blood test results of mine and found something my doctor missed, that my thyroglobulin is over thirteen times the allowed maximum for someone who has had a thyroidectomy.  This from a test that was done in June and only because I asked why it hadn’t been done in a year and a half - I was told after the surgery it would be tracked regularly.  I am pretty sure it is only the third that has been done.  Even if the one before had been normal it should have been within a year, and the one before was slightly elevated enough that the information sites about thyroidectomies act like that is a sure sign of disease recurrence.

I am going to have to chase up with my GP about what looks likely to mean my carcinoma had spread a bit before the surgery after all.

I have a strong feeling my GP ignores all results not flagged by the system, and the system doesn’t flag things in the range for normal people - thus completely misses what I was getting the test for.  It is showing I have an organ that I really don’t.

It seems now that I am going through results on tests that were listed as clear, that the actual numbers suggest I had blood tests saying otherwise from about two years ago that were overlooked. Which is not ideal.
