ASSESSMENT/PLAN 


1.      Thyroid carcinoma – a TSH and free T4 have been requested.  Review of laboratory studies requested by Dr. X in June of 2005 demonstrated an elevated TSH level at 8.  Apparently s/l DOE DOSE adjustment was made.  We will need to discuss thyroid suppression and goal of TSH with Dr. x.    She is due for thyroid scan.
