Jan,

I do not understand tumor markers very well. My onc. does not use them. I believe that sometimes markers can increase when the cancer cells are dying. So this could be a good sign.

I am sure someone will be along soon to shed more light.

Hang in there. I am believing that this will turn around for you real soon.

Hugs
Tonya
