markers
Flori, I won't try to answer the question about the number of pills because I don't have the knowledge for that.
But I can say that in general what your onc says about markers bouncing around is correct. For some, markers are quite accurate; but for many they are just generally an indicator -- one more possible tool in the toolbox. Many docs won't do them because patients tend to get easily upset about them. Sequential repeat markers that on the whole tend to continue rising are more of a true indicator of recurrence/mets.
