Blood markers rising

What does it mean when a cancer marker in a blood test goes up from 400 to 800 in one month? One round of chemotherapy completed 4 months ago. 

  • Hello and thank you for posting,

    I am afraid as Cancer Information Nurses who are not involved in the situation, we cannot say what this means. I was unsure what cancer markers you were referring to and whether you were asking for yourself or on behalf of someone else.

    The best person to ask about this would be the cancer specialist/ cancer nurse specialist (CNS) involved in this situation.

    You would be welcome to speak with one of our nurses if you would like more information or support. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Jemma
