Hi
I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet so responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll hopefully be spotted by someone who can help.
I replied to your post a few days ago in the BRCA positive group and wondered if you'd followed my suggestion of posting in the ask a nurse section of the online community? You could also speak to your CNS and she should be able to explain what the rise means.
While you're waiting for replies it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
