@heidivet good morning just an FYI concerning CA125 .. prior to surgery my number was 10 .. go figure ??? Today it is 15 and has been 15 since treatment with enhertu brought it from 77 to 15 .. apparently my cancer shares a lot in common with ovarian cancer ... very sensitive to CA 125 marker .. good luck !

@alohman08 Mine was 6 when the cancer was first discovered, and without any treatmement whatsoever, moved down to 3 just before surgery. The belief is that my body just hadn't recognized the cancer yet, so I don't know if CA125 is a good matker or not. I'll only know if the cancer returns.

@alohman08 That is interesting. My medical oncologist is repeating the CA 125 so it is possible it will be high post-surgery and was just normal the first time. I've believe enhertu is not useful if you don't have a high CA 125? Is that your understanding?
