Re: Herceptin and CA 27.29 tumor marker
Hi Cal-gal,
I was one of the ones who responded to you a few months ago when you were worried about your tumor markers bouncing around near the top of normal. Of course, at the time, my advice was to not worry. But now, I'M WORRIED about mine, and it is soooooo much easier to give advice than to follow your own! Here are my markers ( they seem really similar to what yours did-that's why I'm hoping you will let me know what to do!)
Before chemo/surgery: 27
After surgery/before chemo: 29
During chemo: 48
After chemo: 44, then 41, then 38, then 34, then 30, then 26.
Now they've been going up again!
June 2nd--28, June 28th--30, and now on July 13th--34!
I'll put it in a list so it's easier to read--I just realized that wasn't very easy to read above.
27 before surgery/chemo
29 after surgery/ before chemo
48 during chemo
44 1 month after chemo
41 2 months after chemo
38 3 months after chemo
34 4 months after chemo
30 5 months after chemo
26 5 1/2 months
28 6 months
30 6 1/2 months
34 7 months
What ever happened to yours? I am assuming you stopped worrying about them since I couldn't find any new posts about it! Do they still bounce around? What do you think about mine? I HATE CANCER!
