Question: What are the symptoms of recurrent thyroid cancer?

Answers:

• mostly rising thyroglobulin levels
• I actually felt mine growing very rapidly in my neck. Total thyroid had been done 5 years earlier
• I had a pillow like lump close to my collarbones
• Rising Tg levels unless you also have hasimotos thyroiditis. Then it would be your rising Tg & TgAb levels
• Mine was just yearly scan. 
• Both times for me it was rising thyroglobulin levels. The first time like 1.4- next time went to 1.8. Confirmed by sono and CT. Had absolutely no symptoms
• Raised thyroglobulin. For me it was neck pain, fatigue and problems swallowing again
• I started noticing raspiness in voice and laugh.
