How high are your 15-3 and 27.29 tumor markers? I know mine are well above normal, but I'm curious to know how high they are for other ppl living w mbc? If they continue to rise, is there a point where you begin to feel differently? I was dxd in may 2023 w mets to bone n liver. For reference, both my 15-3 & 27.29 are in the 95-115 range and have remained in this range the entire time .

Tumor marker levels can vary widely between individuals, and many people in this community share similar experiences with elevated markers. The relationship between rising levels and how someone feels physically can differ from person to person - some notice changes while others don't experience noticeable symptoms even with higher numbers. Your oncology team is the best resource for understanding what your specific levels mean in the context of your overall treatment plan and health picture. This community often finds it helpful to share experiences about monitoring these markers and how they discuss the results with their medical teams.
