Navelbine and tumor marker
Another question... After my first round of Navelbine my tumor marker dropped from 97 to 60 and then to 47 second round. After 3rd round elevated to 49 and now after 4th round elevated to 51. Does this mean it has stopped working? We are going to be scanning in May and I am restarting zometa next week. I guess I will go through this 5th round and these test and then regroup for the 6th round. What is the longest time anyone has been on navelbine before it stopped working? I know it has been an easy chemo for me and I really don't want to give that up.
Thanks again
