I have bone mets. I just started navelbine & herceptin in January. My ca2729 before my 1st treatment was 55. This month my marker rose to 67. That was only after 2 treatments because my white blood counts went too low & I had to miss a treatment. BUT I'm concerned that even after only 2 treatments the marker shouldn't be higher if the chemo is working; maybe it's too early be show decline, but at least should have been stable. My onc. didn't seem alarmed, said to wait a few weeks & we'll measure again. But he wasn't concerned a few months ago when the markers started rising from normal range & it turned out to be an accurate indicator. How do you access this? Anyone on navelbine with similar delay is showing good results? Thanks. Pam
