Welcome to connect, I am glad you decided to join us. Feel free to wander around and read or join any discussions you feel are relevant to you.
I remember how scary it was the first year after original diagnosis and treatment. I had fluctuating markers up and then down, my doctor told me that he was watching for trends. If it continued to go up and up, then they would start looking. I remember how much anxiety these markers created in me.
Have you discussed this with your doctor?

I don't have the next appointment until June.
He only briefly mentioned that he was not concerned at the moment, I have blood work before the next visit. It is just hard to see a change and not have a more thorough even if short discussion of the marker, or possible trends (ebbs and flows) and what it all means. I am a science educator at the college level and can easily grasp the topics. Thanks for asking, I am going to get to know this Mayo Clinic Connect a bit. It was an accident I stumbled upon it.
