Re: CA27.29 ups & downs

My CA 27/29 is all over the place. I just went to the onc on Monday and I am awaiting my result. The last one was 19 but it had been 8 before and 11, 22, 29, 16 - I know its different than you - always under the magical 38. Alot of things can affect the CA#. Even caffeine consumption.
