My son, Trevor, just received word that his tumors markers went up from 21,000 to 71,000. He was released from the hospital close to a month ago, has since then started to regain his appetite and some weight. He is still trying to regain some of his strength back. The tumors markers are CA-199 being tested.
Does anyone have any info on the sudden increase? This is after three treatments of 5Fu two of which have been with Gemzar. He has felt better recently, i.e. eating a little better and getting around a bit.
Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ,
Eileen
