Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / January 2004Markers up and down
Hi: I have a question stupid as it might be, I would appreciate any answers you might have. I just got my blood results and one of the testts for the cancer markers went up while the other went down. Cea opposed to ca 27 29. So is there a reason and could stress ever have anything to do with the results??? Thanks.  SignatureHugs, Laura K.* I'm out of estrogen and I have a gun! gabnet wrote<< I just got my blood results one of the testts for the cancer markers went up while the other went down.

I am not sure how stress might effect the results, but different factors can cause each to fluctuate. Which of your tests went up and by how much? And how much did the other test go down? A change in the CEA by one point may be significant if outside the normal range. A change in the CA 27.29 by one point would most likely be insignificant. Hi Again: Thanks for responding. The CA27 29 went up in 6 weeks 28 points while the CEA went down. OF course now I am nervous and feel tired. I prpbably am more depressed then tired though. Thanks for responding.
