nice!
Your numbers are better than mine were, especially your highest.
After surgery and before chemo, my CA-125 was 15. Through chemo it gradually decreased to a low of 5-point-something. Since then it seems to have 'settled' in the range between 6 and 9. I have a 4-month check up coming up in a few weeks and am hopeful it's still below 10. Good numbers can be a boost!
Sometimes I wonder, if any doctor had thought to check my CA-125 a year or two before I was actually diagnosed, would I have been in a 'better' stage. -

Mine was 19 when I started chemo and went down to 12 by the 4th treatment and that is where it stays. I was going for a single digit but she says 12 is my normal and it will hover around that..
