There is one blood test result missing to confirm that your thyroid function is still chemically normal, TSH. If this is normal as well you are not underactive. It would also be interesting to know if your thyroid antibody, (TPO) is normal, if it is it tends to suggest that you are are at little future risk, though with a goitre it is wise to keep an eye on your thyroid function tests for the duration anyway.
