I get routine marker tests every 3 months but honestly they don't help me with my cancer. when they knew I had invasive cancer and where it was my blood tests for CA 13,5 was the lowest it has ever been - 10! so I don't really think it works for me. also at that same time they couldn't "see" the cancer in either a mammo or sonogram despite knowing exactly where it was because of the biopsy!! so tests for me are not reliable or reassuring but I still think it's the best of what we have.
