Does anyone know what the tumor markers should be at?

    Alexis, it depends on which TM test your onc uses (there's more than one), and even then it depends further on what's normal for you. With the CA27-29 (probably the most commonly used one), normal reference range is up to 38. Hope this helps. Deanna

    My oncologist lists the numbers for each of the tests that she orders.  The numbers will be in the red if they are too high or low.  Otherwise they will be in black.  If I click on the number, a graph will appear that shows the range;  This graph is really helpful to learn how high or low my blood levels are for each test.  Maybe your oncologist has something similar so that you can know what your results really mean as well as comparing your blood tests over time.

    Good luck.
