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

Posted by lisajoann @lisajoann, Jul 1, 2022

Wondering if anyone has any info on C27-29 fluctuations and if it is common? Also is anyone in the 40s or higher and cancer free? So very confusing… so many different opinions.

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 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.
