My CEA tumour markers had gone down to 1.5 then jumped to 6.5 and then to 12.5. My doctor ordered tests and I had 3 very, very small spots in my lymph nodes, which my doctor jumped on immediately. I should be ending my 3 month round of taxotere added to my Herceptin. I just had a catscan yesterday and will find the results on Tuesday. I was really thankful that my doctor took notice immediately. She knew that my tumour markers seems to correspond with what is going on in my body. It was a far cry from the tumour markers of 273 that I originally had.
