Ask your Onc to give you the her2 serum test to monitor your progress during chemo. It can show the effectiveness of the treatments and help you and theonc decide what is going on as an added back up to other Ca marker tests like the Ca 27- 29. Stable is below 15. I am using this test to monitor me for any future progression, even though I have been NED(no evidence of disease ) for 6 yrs. Quest labs have the test. It is a simple blood test that meaures th her2neu gene in your blood.

Warm hugs, Christine
