Did your tumor markers change after breast cancer surgery?

After double mastectomy, a week and a half, marker only dropped a point from 52 to 51. Doctor said leaning towards CHT that it has only dropped one point. PET and CT negative. Has this happened to anyone else?

What is CHT? My 27 29 was 2541 when recently just diagnosed with reoccurrence after 10 years. I discovered a lump in my collar bone area. Went down to 1431 after 1st chemo of THP Taxotere, Herceptin & Perjeta.

Hi @jegarry29, welcome. You may be interested in this related discussion:

@mssewest, I believe CHT stands for combined (estrogen-progestogen) hormone therapy. Is that what you are referring to Jegarry?
