My wife is currently on taxotere and herceptin ( 3 on, 1 off - weekly) after finishing dose-dense AC. We had the CA 15-3 and CEA done and they both went up from when we checked the first time which was right before starting the AC. The CA 15-3 went up 10 points and the CEA went up 1 point.
We were disappointed that the markers went up while on chemo. Does this mean the chemo is not working or are the jumps normal while on chemp because of all the interactions going on while on chemo?
The onc said we will test again in a month and if it goes up again, he may consider adding carbo to the taxotere/herceptin combo.
Thanks
