My Husband has had problems with the markers going up, his PSA has risen too and that is a tumor marker for prostate cancer, of course you do not have a prostate and he has Stage IV Inflammatory HER2+Breast Cancer! Some doctors do not even look at markers. My aunt had the treatments you had(I do not know all details of your story) and her markers never went up. Ask your doctor his concern with your numbers and if you do not now, learn to read your bloodwork. My husband has not had your treatments so I do not know if I am even helping you, but I hope you can gather something. I am not sure if where the mets are makes a difference with #'s. You did not specify how you are feeling after your treatment, please let us know. Right now his markers are rising too and it breaks my heart. Something has stopped working and we will be discussing more of our options on tomorrow. Overall, he feels well. In fact, he feels like he may be getting well, even though the markers are up. Please write back with some more details. You will certainly be in our thoughts and prayers>>Waiting For A Miracle>>Believe51...(Marie G)
