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

Posted by sandyjr @sandyjr, Jul 1, 2019

My Ca 27.29 seems to be high....in the 40’s....and my oncologist says that that is probably normal for me. He checked the records from my first bc. Does anyone else have an issue like this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

Before my surgery I did a long list blood test. The nurse took 20 vials.

Here some of my results:

% CD3+CD25+ Lymphs ( 34.8 high reference interval 4.9-25.9)
Circulating tumor cell is 0 ( CTC per 7.5 mL of whole blood)
CA 125 ( 5.2 U/ml)
CA 27-29 (7 U/ml)
CA 15 -3 (8.2 U/ml)
CEA ( 1.1 )
Factor VIII Activity ( 185 high reference interval 56 - 140)
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy (24.1 Low ng/mL reference interval 30.0-100.0)

As you are post surgical and presumably in some manner of remission many of these numbers will no longer be valid.

I am not sure if I understand what you are saying. Did those tests before the surgery and almost everything looks good. Vitamin D and CD3 and CD25 don't look ok.

“ some” of the numbers, already hood may be better , others related to active cancer in body won’t be because you had the cancer removed through surgery.

I’m not a medical professional but I would think your D was low ( as is mine) and likely hasn’t changed unless you have taken steps to increase it.

I’m not familiar with some of the tests you took.

I am pleased with most of my results. My skin is very white and don't stay in the sun at all. Therefore my vitamin D is low. Need to take supplements.

@poliana 22 I got my D3 up to 52 and maintain with 3,000 units/day. One thousand of those is with K2. If I am in the sun in the summer I go down to 2,000.
