Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your query and i can understand your concern.
In general thyroglobuline level is an important marker for the outcome of the thyroid cancer.
If the thyroglobuline is high and the whole body scan shows still remaining thyroidal cells, than treatment with radio iodine therapy is recommended.
Radio iodine is a very good therapy for some types of the thyroidal cancer and the recovery chances are very high.
You can attach the results for a more specific answer.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
