It looks like your question got cut off — but it sounds like you're asking about acceptable CA-125 and HE4 levels while in remission. Great question, and congrats on your remission! 🎉

For CA-125, the generally accepted normal range is less than 35 units per milliliter (U/mL), though some labs use up to 46 U/mL as their upper limit. Staying within this range while in remission is a positive sign.

For HE4, normal levels vary based on menopausal status:

- Premenopausal: typically below 70 picomoles per liter (pmol/L)
- Postmenopausal: typically below 140 pmol/L

It's worth noting that these are general reference ranges. What matters most is the trend over time — your care team will be watching for any consistent rises, even within "normal" ranges, as that can signal early recurrence.

Since you're being monitored monthly, your oncologist is the best person to define what *your* personal baseline looks like and what changes would prompt further investigation. Don't hesitate to ask them directly what numbers they're watching for in your specific case.
