Dear Jody
Re the markers. The marker I am regularly tested for is CA 23. SO there must be different ones for types of cancer. I will ask my onco when I seem him at the end of January. He has told me that normal for healthy people is 20. Mine were as high as 190 in August/September. Now down to 93 and falling!!. Can any one else out there shed any light on this marker business? It's got me piqued now as I have to know things. I study astrology and I have lots of planets in 9th house of learning so I need to keep on learning to grow. Keep up the positive thinking & believe in the power of prayer to whatever higher power you believe in. I cannot believe that life is random so there must be a God out there who hears us and we are being tested for a reason.Love & hugs

Hi Pam ~~ Doing some research on the 'Net, I found out that the CA 27/29 measures the same result that the CA 15/3 test does. I've never even heard of the CA 23! I am glad to hear your number is falling, too! That is the important thing, right? I'm anxious to hear if anyone else has some insight into these confusing tests/numbers. I'm like you, Pam, the more information the better. I have been known to depress myself in reading TOO MUCH, though! But I think we have all done that! Thanks for your response, Pam! Have a wonderful day! ~Jodypamtriggs said:Dear Jody
