Does anyone know if a test result of 19.3 is high for this test? I realize that the range goes grom 0-25. Six months ago the result was 19.1. Shouldn't it be way lower than 19.3? I had tx 3 years ago.Thanks, ladies, for any help!

    My last test for this was 25.7, but the upper limit on the lab says 31.  Mine have always been in the 20s, but this one was 4 points up and of course I freaked out.  My oncologist said with these tests normal is normal.  There is another thread on this that might reassure you, it did me.  "CA 15-3 cancer marker in the abnormal range."  See if you can do a search for it - maybe reading through it will help.

    Hi and thank you for the post! It made me feel better....my onc also just emailed me to let me know he was not concerned. It's hard to know what to freak out about!
