Yesterday I went for another post treatment checkup and everything was good. I'd lost 19 pounds in 3 months with a lot of hard work. My onc doesn't do scans unless something is there, so I haven't had any of those done. And my ca27-29 was the lowest it has been since dxd 9-04. I was happy with it all, especially the weight loss. How do you explain to someone what the tumor markers are? Do all types of cancer have markers?
