My onc has not ordered the markers on me, but the doctor I work for has. I see him for my blood pressure and various other things. We are using them as a baseline. He also has ordered follow-up MRI's on the pineal cyst which is in my brain and has ordered a PET scan due to a lump in my neck which has not shown up on CT scan. He feels it should be biopsied and my onc does not. Anyway I feel if one misses something the other will not.
