I am sure it is fine and 21 is not much higher than 17 or 19. Have the marker run again. If your onco won't do it, have the Plastic surgeon or your primary care doctor run it. Do it in a month (or at least let a couple of weeks go by). This will give you peace of mind prior to reconstruction surgery.

Big hug to you
