Ann, I had no symptoms. My CA15.3 raised from 25 to 28 and then to 30. Almost nothing but I jumped up and down to have a Pet/Scan. My onc said OK to reassure me and didn't believe one minute I would have mets. My blood tests for the liver were normal. I was more than 4,5 years after initial diagnosis. The Pet/Scan detected the tumors and I then had MRIs of the liver. It's my story and everyone is different. I hope you can understand quickly what is causing the pain and the bloating. The left side doesn't sound like liver but it is necessary to check. Keep requesting exams until the doctors sort it out. I hope it will turn out to just minor digestive problems.Hugs. Michka
