2018年12月27日 · A rising CA 15-3 was the only indication me or my Oncologist had that something might be wrong. I felt great and all my other bloodwork was normal. But in fact, my cancer had progressed to metastatic. Without the early indicator of the CA 15 -3 we might have gone months or longer with the advancing cancer going unnoticed & untreated.

2024年2月13日 · A friend has had breast cancer 3 times with surgeries, chemo and radiation. Last episode about 3 years ago. Ca-15-3 started going up 4 -5 months ago and is now close to 400.

2018年12月27日 · My blood test for tumor marker CA15-3 used to be in the 20-28 range. Last month it jumped to 59 and now after 30 days it is 101. Does anyone know what's going on. A Pet Scan was ordered but the wait is causing way too much anxiety

2025年3月18日 · After the six cycles CA-125 returned to normal but CA15-3 and CA19-9 continued to rise. Cancer began to spread and metastasize about 4-6 months after treatment ended. From this I conclude that I am platinum resistant. Now I've …

2022年7月1日 · My Doc uses the CA15-3 tumor marker test. I believe it saved my life.
