After a bit of missed sleep from working myself into an anxiety spiral, I decided I had to harass my doctor's office.
Have now heard back with a vague, yes we should check your thyroglobulin again but it is still very low in the scheme of things. Which doesn't exactly agree with what the various thyroidectomy information sites online run by the big name American for-profit-health-industrial-complex.
But it is an official response from my doctor so I should take it as a win and pretend I am not convincing myself that I have cancer.
Also, this stops me from having to deal with the fact that the concern is only annoyance at the bad diagnosis and that treatment will be annoying. The fact there is a slight chance it could 'end poorly' hasn't been bothering me at all and it didn't even occur to me it was a thing I should be worrying about until people were worried that I would be stressing about it.
