My sister - who was disgnosed stage III, her +++ in November has been on chemo + herceptin and the markers started to rise 89, then retested at 93 - about 2 months ago. Went thorugh the whole round of scans / MRI - everything and nothing showed. Doctor finally concluded that the markers were unreliable for her case. There are other possible explanations for rising markers (other medical conditions) - and she did have a health issue then.
I read somewhere else (I'm not sure if true - perhaps someone can confirm) - that brain met won't affect marker due to the blood brain barrier.
The marker results are not enormously high for you - I think that I've heard in the 800 range or higher - as a possability with activity.
Hang in there.
