Isn't it amazing that 7 years ago the recommendation was to lower it to 3.0 as the high range and that Pete's article was 4 years ago, yet most cancer doctors have not gotten the word. (or if they know about it, just smugly rely upon their medical school training from the last century )
I can't believe that the CCCs do not all take pre-TX TSH blood tests as part of standard practice which then leaves the majority of patients in DavidCPA's situation. I had to leave my CCC and get an endocrinologist who went to medical school in the 21st century to get treatment.
