Hi Libby, I have never had this test done, I know there has been some research on it that I've read. Could it be your Dr is part of a study? I am curious to hear more about why he decided to do it. Maybe you can share more after you see the Doc. ☺ Sending prayers for low tumor marker counts and good cbc counts. Teal Hugs ♥ Prayers Bonnie -

Joanne,
I found info when I googled HE4. It is another marker for ovarian cancer. I will not see my doctor until February this time as she wants to give me more time to recup from Hexalen. So I will not know what she is looking for in that test until then.
I will be sure to inform this board as soon as I know.
