Ca 27-29
A variety of factors may affect tumor marker tests, including the CA 27-29. Maybe the doc can repeat it in one or two months or provide another test to see if there is a pattern.

Question Hi HavahJ
Any more information on what's causing the high markers?

I don't believe that I've ever had the tumor markers done so I really know nothing about them. Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you.
