Thank you for posting this

Grace,

I am stage I also. When I was first diagnosed, my surgeon wanted all kinds of tumor marker tests. I asked both my internist and onc about them, and they both told me the tests were useless in stage I bc, not to bother due to false positives. I am coming up on my 9 month anniversary since dx, and my surgeon is insisting on these blood tests. I am considering having my onc call her to discuss. I am adamant I do not want them done. Your experience adds to my conviction.
