I started treatment in August tch and 8/15 my ca 15-3 was 4.7. 9-25 was 7.7 and today was 8.2. Slowly creeping up. I mentioned this to the chemo nurse and she said the onc was keeping tract of all stats and I have an appt with him next thurs so will ask.

I never had any baseline scans before treatment. Understood I was to have one after. Have had some headaches but they may be a treatment se.

Some say don't pay much attention to the tumor markers but I was just wondering if anyone in treatment has their rise.
