Re: Herceptin and CA 27.29 tumor marker
Hi Weety-
Thanks for checking in--
I go in every 2 months now--due to go in this Monday--11/22-
here are my markers since July--I still have not been able to get it under my initial marker right after surgery which was 29 or so--
7/16/10 34.0
9/15/10 30.1 (3.9)
It does freak me out sometimes that I cant get it lower--but my Onc doesnt seem concerned either---
Hugs to you and thank you for checking in--
Good Luck to you--
