Congrats on your upcoming marriage I wish you and yours the very best. I had thyroid cancer in a lymph node in my chest accident found when I was having chest surgery for something else entirely. A thyroidectomy was performed and I was told there was absolutely no signs of cancer in my thyroid. I had a chest CT and there were nodules found in my lungs - they have caused me no problems and this all took place 20+ years ago. Mine was also adenocarcinoma in the node in the chest. My situation may be completely different than yours but I am
Hoping yours is also a benign finding. Have you had the opportunity to visit with your doc about the rising levels you discovered when you asked for a repeat test?

I have not yet had followup for the CEA yet. The difference for 8.7 and 5.2 is because of different laboratories. My latest value is 8.6. So depending where I measure it hopefully is below 8.6 or 5.2. But measuring it too soon after surgery is maybe not that useful.
