Thyroglobulin test results

Hello! I have had Thyroid Cancer for 4 years, had 3 surgery's and 2 radiation treatments. First surgery they took out my thyroid gland, second surgery they took out lymph nodes with cancer, third surgery they took out more lymph nodes with cancer. My cancer is very agressive @ this time. Today I got bad news my thyroglobulin is @ 28.9 and my endo ordered u/s of the neck and PET Scan. Does this procedure sound right? Is my thyroglobulin level really high?
