Cancer marker fluctuations: Does your oncologist test for C27-29?

I have heard that many doctors don’t. I wish I could hear from others if they get this test and if their scores fluctuate.
Thanks 🙂

My first oncologist always did this test, I always thought it was odd since mine fluctuated a lot. If I asked he would say it is not a big deal, “it does that”. The doctor I have now uses scans.
Reading the post from @mom23boys I can see how my previous doctor may have viewed this test.

My oncologist in Pittsburgh uses this test just as a tool from the toolbox.

I started at 27 when diagnosed then registered 24, 20, 24 and now at 32. All within normal range. I am concerned about the increase.

My oncologist is never alarmed but for me, it’s sometimes worrisome.
