Hi Trudy and welcome.
To help you connect with other members like @lisakinpa @jemma17 @lazomama @mssewest @cctoo, I moved your question about interpreting CA 27-29 results to this existing discussion:

You may wish to read the previous messages to see that CA 27-29 is not used alone to monitor breast cancer. A single value is less important than how the results trend over time. Thus the test is generally used to monitor and notice whether there is a change in your values.
Were all your CA 27-29 tests done at the same lab? Where were the small nodes shown on the CT scan?

yes always at same lab.
There is a stable 2 mm linear density in the medial right lower lobe on series 5
image 163. The branching and nodular densities in both lower lobes are again noted
with very much a similar configuration best seen for example on series 5 image 316.
This is associated with several very tiny nodules on the order of 1 to 2 mm. Suspect
benign finding but follow-up is recommended. Suggest 6-month chest CT follow-up. Thought maybe this was from Covid. This was my follow-up. Covid a year ago.
I have another CT end of November.
Just some weird stuff going on, Superficial DVT left arm with phlebitis x 3 (side of BC), severe hot flashes which I never had. I know lymphoedema can occur at any point but never an issue before. Left arm stays swollen with lymph node pain, but ultrasound was negative. Grrr just frustrating!
