Re: Tumor Marker question

They are still within normal, but I do think that you should continue to regularly monitor them. I was over 5 years out, and my tumor marker was always between 9 and 13. In March, 2010, it was still 13. Four months later, it jumped up to 50, and two liver mets were found.
While they are not accurate for everyone, it can be a useful tool for some. But, what I have heard is that they are looking for a pattern. If your's steadily keep rising, it could be concerning.
