Re: Question about tumor markers
My TM's always run high normal (scares the heck out of me!) They were at 29 right before surgery, have gotten as high as 48, but usually they are right around 30. 3 months ago they were 34, now latest one came in at 28. Don't know why they bounce around. I am not currently on active treatment (finished chemo Dec 2009 and finished herceptin Oct 2010)--I hope it doesn't mean anything at all for me. My onc doesn't seem to be concerned. Everytime I ask her about them she says "Normal is normal." And she always adds, "As long as they aren't consistently climbing, it's nothing to worry about." Gee, I wish I could not worry. . .
