FEEL UNSURE
Just spoke with my Onologist my tumor marker has dropped from either 553 to 72, the blood test taken was last Friday, 4 weeks 3 days since my 6th & final Chemo. The marker after 5 Chemo cycles was 87...

Apparently it can take several monthsafter treatment has finished before it drops further so don't be dissapointed it hasn't dropped dramatically less from last cycle. Also looks like a bit of confusion over what the actual result was, so maybe you can speak with the oncologist again or the breast care nurse who works with that team and clarify the results. We often worry over things that we don't need to.
