Wink Re: First Herceptin treatment and CA27.29

Please do not worry about a low Ca 27-29. Be thankful.
So many people have high Ca 27-29 results.
Cool breeze is right. All medical professionals make occassional mistakes. They are human beings.
Testing machines can malfunction. Our medical professionals do the best they can under difficult circumstances.
I get copies of everything !!!!!!! I have learned alot by reading them and looking up words I do not understand in a medical dictionary.
It something doesn't seem right to you question it and keep questioning it until you can an answer you can understand or a follow up test or procedure whenever necessary. Get second opinions when it seems the right thing to do.
One of my doctors told me that doctors work for patients and should address all patients needs and concerns. What a smart man he is !!!!!!!!!!!!
