I have decided I don't want to know the results. I don't expect them to be good. If they're elevated, I can't do anything about it. And if they're not, well I'll like to believe that. Doctors will keep telling me that it is nonspecific regardless of the results.

I've also had some gastrointestinal problems, loose bowel movements. I also can't get proper sleep. I stay awake until 4 am every night and wake up at around 6 or 7 am. This has been going on for 2 weeks now.

At the same time I ran new record on my running route. And outside of the occasional pinch here and there and fatigue from not sleeping enough I am feeling physically well. I've noticed that I sometimes have small pinching pain in abdomen, especially when I haven't eaten anything. Maybe I have ulcers.

Or maybe it is in my colon, small intestine or liver or more in the lungs. Or its nowhere. Or maybe I have hepatitis or liver damage from all the meds from surgeries (VATS & wisdom tooth extraction) and vaccines. Or maybe I have fatty liver that doesn't show in CT. Or maybe it is elevated because I exercise too much and my lung hasn't healed properly yet. Whatever the CEA is, it won't tell anything until they can see it in the scans.

I'll just tell the doctor I want full battery of examinations: Gastroscopy, laryngoscopy, colonoscopy, full body PET and CT. And maybe enteroscopy or video capsule endoscopy.
