Hi AA -
Is it possible to get the CA27-29 marker test instead of the 15-3??
They switched at SCCA in favor of the CA27-29 as they feel it is a better test.
Is your internist the closest you can get to seeing a good oncologist up there??
Be vigilent about ANY pain and complain immediately, demanding the most advanced CT or PET you can get.
What did you med onc have to answer to this question?
