My tumor markers were between 9 & 11 (ca 27/29) for 5 years when I was early stage. When I was diagnosed with liver mets, they jumped to 50.

A few months after chemo they dropped back to normal. I have been NED for 15 months, and they now fluctuate between 9 & 17.
I also have the Her2 serum test and that is also in the normal range, last reading was 12.
