Thyroiditis?

Hi for the past 5 weeks I have been very shaky, poor sleep, exercise intolerance, hot, night sweats. No menstral cycle x 8 months. Not pregnant.  I had my TSH tested was undectable, had free T3 and T4 tested: 2.2 and 235.  My endo told me it was either thyroiditis or graves disease.  Wants me to wait a couple more weeks before getting the thyroid scan.  My question is:  is it ok to wait?  how does she know it is not cancer or something like that?  are my numbers really high or just mild?  if it is thyroiditis when will it go away, I am very ready to exercise again. In your expert opinion would I be able to run a marathon in May, I am currently a runner.  When can I start expect to start feeling normal again?  I am 26 years old 5'5'' 115lbs. female.  Thank you for any information you may have.
