This is an unrelated question. I heard you mention HE4,S before. Should I ask my doc to do this test? If so, why? What would it tell me? I'm already getting the CA-125 test.

My oncologist at Mayo thinks the HE4,S is more indicative of cancer than CA125. Both are good. The more intel we have, the better to make the right decisions.

My incredible Mayo gyn/oncology/surgeon claims this test is a better indicator then CA125. When I was first diagnosed myHE4,S was high (722) and with each chemo session, I watched it come down finally to 54 so we knew chemo was working. My local oncology does not use this test, but now he does! It is the same blood draw (hope you have a port) so please ask for it. I get both these tests every two weeks.
