    I am flipping out. I know they are unreliable but this doesn't seem good to me. I don't have any other symptoms. My doctor won't be calling with results until at least Monday. Please tell me something, even if it's bad news. 

    Scary. 

    Update: Stage IIIA (or C can't remember, but I did have a lot of positive nodes) been NED since the end of 2012. I was 26 last test, now jumped up to 60 in six months.

    Lauren, don't sweat it...not yet anyways. For me, TM's did indicate mets, and I did not have any symptoms, the only way to know for sure is scans. And I'm not saying you have mets. You don't have your diagnosis, treatment or stage listed. Just keep on top of it. And stay calm!

    Thank you. I'll try to keep it in mind, but the jump really has me scared. I've been beginning to think that being out of it for six years I was in the clear, but now I'm not so sure. I know it can come back whenever, but I was really hoping. Ugh.
