Herceptin and CA 27.29 tumor marker

[weety]

I'm no doctor, but from looking at your results and comparing them to my experience, I would just say you are one to come in with high-normal values. Your markers tend to bounce around in about the 28-35 range, which is still considered normal. My onc says that it is the upward trend that they worry about, not a single fluke reading here and there or even a high-normal that stays consistently high-normal. My numbers were 27 before surgery, went up to 48 during chemo and now have been slowly going down (38, then 34.9 and now the most current at 32.6) but they still haven't gotten back to my first score of 27. This has been freaking me out as well, but I'm really trying to believe it has to be remnants of the chemo still, since it has gone down each time just a bit more. My onc only does them every 3 months now that they've gotten back into the normal range. I think my next one is in May.
