Ca 15-3

My onc. faxed me my blood test results today and I have a big question:

My CA 15-3 was 26 in Dec. and jumped to 38 this month (range is <35) while my CEA went from 1.0 in Dec. to 1.9 (range is < 3.1 for non-smokers) and my CA 27-29 was 33 in Dec. and is 36 (range is 0-40). Everything increased but the CEA and CA 27-29 were still in normal range, except the CA 15-3 which really jumped at 12 points. I'm freaked out to say the least, but my onc.'s note said to repeat the test in two months.

If it were you, what's the best thing to do at this point? Wait two months? Ask for a repeat in one month? Ask for additional tests or scans?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Vicki
