    Hello @YellowRobin,
    I am pleased to hear that you have been to see your medical oncologist and now have a plan.  I have attached the following information regarding tumour markers for you and @Mahaica as it explains what they are and provides some examples

    Hi @YellowRobin I'm glad you i have an understanding Dr
    I had the base line scan after treatment finished, once  I was over the worst of the after effects.
    To me it Was a New starting point And a bit of piece of mind that there was nothing to be seen. 

    This is just my understanding.
     The scans can’t give a precise answer as there are other possible answers IF anything shows up, its one of several tools in the process to the next step really. 
    I think the biopsy gives the confirmation one way or the other. 

    To our other bcna people if anyone has a different understanding Please let me know. 😊
