What Does The Following Blood Test Report Indicate?

my blood tests are showing my TSH level at 44,438. I am a 4 time cancer patient currently in treatment with Keytruda. I dont know exactly what to ask. Three weeks ago this TSH number was 27.496. I have been taking medicine for 2 1/2 weeks. Am I in a lot of trouble? What should I be doing. This is all being done by my oncologist. Do I need a endroconologist? Thank you

Hi,

Rising thyroid hormone level indicates poor functioning of the thyroid gland for secreting thyroid hormones in the body.

I would like to recommend to discuss the same with your treating oncologist or else an endocrinologist to highlight deeply in the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
