My ca 15-3 level got higher. does that mean there is cancer returning?

Likely: If you were treated for a cancer and the ca 15-3 levels went down after treatment, and the level is going up now, that would be an indication of cancer recurrence. You should consult your doctor to rule out other causes of elevation of ca 15-3.
