CA 27-29 numbers rising: Does anyone else have an issue like this?

Hi I am new here. Breast Cancer 3.5 years ago. Stage 1 Hormone Positive/Her Negative. Lumpectomy with Radiation. On Amidex for 3 years. My oncologist told me he does not normally do the CA tests but, his assistant saw me once when he was Out of Town and ordered one. Mt doctor was alittle annoyed because he says they are not reliable and can go up and down causing undo stress and un-necessary tests. Since then my number has gone up and down from high 30's to mid 40's. My last one jumped 13 points to 52 and another intern ordered a CT scan. I am so upset and stressed about my cancer coming back. Anyone else have this and it turn out not cancer related?

ava333,
My wife's CA27-29 upon diagnosis in Nov 2020 was 676, last weeks test was 187, so for over two years it has bounced around, the lowest it has ever been was 83. Her onc said primarily the same thing, so many things can cause the numbers to be elevated. I've read posts on this site from other women whose numbers fluctuate as well. We are working on trying to not stress on the numbers, but taking into consideration how she is feeling, and how the scans look. Take a breath until after the CT scan. Prayers that your cancer stays away.
