The hospital here stopped offering the CA 27-29 that my internist had me get every 3 months. They PROMISED to at least do one set of duplicate tests so that I would have some kind of baseline to start out with on the CA 15-3, but didn't do it. I have 2 CA 15-3's so far, both low, 3 months apart. I didn't know which test was best but suspected the CA 27-29 was a little better; thanks for the info.
The onc in Seattle is available for appointments but none are scheduled for me, and I try to go through my internist as much as possible since he can physically evaluate me and knows me much better.
I did see the onc in November, 2003 and he made no recommendations for any scans or tests of any kind. There are no oncologists here.
I have the average pains that we all wonder about, but lately have had weird pains inside my skull that I notice most at night. We do have an MRI machine here in town, although I don't trust the readings as much as I do for imaging that I get in Seattle. I might be able to get one more overnight visit in Seattle soon so I'm wondering what y'all think about any particular imaging based on being HER2+++.
Listening,
