Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Four years ago I was diagnosed with neuro-endocrine cancer.  Since then I had a surgery for debulking, was on a clinical trial with SUTENT and had chemotherapy with Avastin, Leucovorin and Oxilaplatin.  During the last 2 years I have been feeling great. Once a month I have a Sandostatin shot.  My blood values are again normal,  my cancer markers are down to 9. However yesterday I had a test and it showed that my thyroid stimulating hormone is very very high 18.42 in comparison to the reference range of 0.34-5.60.  I will not be able to discuss this with my doctor until next week. In the meantime I have so many question since I do not know why these values are so high.  If anybody has an answer I would appreciate it. 

Thank you

I wouldnt think that an elevated TSH would have anything to do with the cancer.  Usually this is elevated if you are experiencing hypothyroidism - this is common and can be treated with hormone therapy.  There should be alot of information on the web.  Try  webmd.  Best of luck to you
