@Milly21 my oncologist did the blood test at my 6 mth mark. Then again when at a checkup i mentioned a niggly back ache that would come and go. I was sent for further scans and the blood tests. I get them regularly now to check my treatment is working.
It is just one tool in the box for checking on things. The CA15-3 can be elevated for other reasons not just cancer.
