Hi Since you were diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer treatment consist only surgery. But i would suggest u do regular follow up by doing blood for CEA test and CT scan of whole abdomen every 3 monthly. As your TSH is high u need to take hypothyroid medications. Consult your local endocrinologist regarding this. Regards DR De.
