@cjay, @reidroberts Thank you both for your post on your Signatera test results. My prayers are with you both, in your journey. I found your post today as I am 7 months out from surgery for Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Stage IIIC. I did not opt for Chemo after surgery as my immune system was quite low at the time and I needed time to seek help on getting that back on track. I did not want it knocked down any further with Chemo at that point, and they were telling me that they had gotten all of the Cancer during my radical hysterectomy.

My 1st Signatera test came back at 0.00 negative for any CT cells. I was ecstatic to say the least. My CT Scan came back with NED which made me even more encouraged. Meanwhile I have been working with a Naturopath / Nutritionist, and this has helped my immune system tremendously. Unfortunately, my 2nd Signatera test came back with a slight bump up to .07. I wasn't concerned about that because I had read residual cells that were dying off could also cause a reading this low. My 3rd test just came back at .14, another slight bump up, but still positive. My oncologist also did a CA 125 cancer marker test which came back in the low normal range (normal being 0 - 35) and mine was 5.5. I will have another CT Scan in July.

I realize these numbers are very low but I can't find anything on the Signatera Site about when to be concerned. At one point I thought I saw online anything over a 2.0 but now I can't find it. Your conversations concerning your results are very helpful. Could you please tell me how to go about getting a consult with a Signatera Genetic Counselor? I don't think I need it now, but if mine jumps like Reid's did I would like to be able to contact them. I don't seem to be able to find that on the Natera site either.

I appreciate all of the information you have shared and you are both in my prayers.
God Bless,
Kathy

@kkathysan - were you able to contact Natera and speak to a genetic counselor?
