I have Stage 4 breast cancer mets bones. I was diagnosed in 2014 - I’m 10 years since diagnosis. My tumor marker has never been “normal” except for a couple of times. For the last year, my TM has been steadily rising from the 40s and is now 115 but I have had scans and there is no presence of cancer. I hope this makes you feel a little better.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I'm also stage iv with mets to bones and liver (dx June 2021). I've been on a few treatments, with the most recent one being enhertu for a year now. All has been clear this past year, except for a stubborn liver met, that my oncologist and surgeon decided to cut out in June of this year. I live in Switzerland and have a treatment team there, but also have oncologist in Denver and SF that I see occasionally. I feel very blessed.

This morning, I just met with my Denver oncologist and he ran the CA 27.29 test and it was up slightly to 49 from 43 two years ago. My other doctors don't run this test. I was a bit nervous about this result, but after consulting with my doctors and seeing your post about how your number fluctuates and that you are doing so amazing with this disease, I am encouraged.

Thank you again for sharing.
