Just to say I was diagnosed 4 years ago and my CEA has gone from single to double figures throughout. My highest with no cancer present was 15 it was caused by gut inflammation.
When last year the cancer managed to get to my liver in 3 places the CEA was very high. But even then the surgeon was able to remove the cancer.
The problem with this horrible illness is that it frightens people. I put my hand on my heart and say if I had your husbands low CEA I would be calmed. Those figures he has show inflammation imo not cancer. My surgeon said my cancer was slow growing and he was confident he could rid me of any reoccurrence. Your husband case sounds like mine. We are here 4 years later. I’m in the UK and keep in touch with the Mayo because I may need more advanced treatment in the future and the USA leads the way. You’re in good hands- the best hands. Best regards Maggie
