Hi there,
I am not sure if radiation was the reason for my marker going up or not- prior to radiation, my ca27-29 was 20, and after it was 24. I am due to have mine checked this week and hopefully it will be good. I will let you know how it turns out. (I realize that it is still within normal limits, but I would love for it to be lower and in the teens at least)
Love,Kelly
