CA 27-29 numbers rising: Does anyone else have an issue like this?

I was having signatera labs done every 3 months for recurrence. Now my new Dr won't order it. I understand if it's elevated to stress. What would be the best way to find recurrence early and treat.

The best way to detect recurrence is a scan (PET or CT). CA markers and liquid biopsies (aka Signaterra, Foundation, etc.) give valuable information but I have yet to see an oncologist act on them without a progression verified on a scan.
