I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
It is not the tumour.
But your TSH level is high. So you have hypothyroidism.
You need to take thyroid supplement.
Drugs like synthroid, eltroxin or armour can be useful. It us prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
