Had colon cancer and now CEA is rising: Scared

I will say that I am currently stage 4 colon cancer and it is very aggressive and my CEA numbers are low. Mine show no indication of colon cancer. So CEA numbers alone cannot dictate whether or not its back. Were they elevated when you were first diagnosed is the question. My first diagnosis was stage 3c in 2023 of August. No elevated CEA for me. Did Folfox 12 rounds and observed. Snuck back in in an area we weren’t monitoring very closely within a 2 month period in Nov 2024. Still no elevated CEA numbers. They can be misleading. I would always err on the side of caution. You are your best advocates. God bless!

SO SORRY! BLESS YOU!
I went through STAGE IV COLON CANCER 25 years ago and then almost died from the chemo! When I came back to life I said " I WOULD NEVER GIVE UP"! That's when I decided to cure myself! Luckily my job entailed working and traveling in a bus doing business from Mexico to Canada!
In 365 days I fly fished I was on a river for approx. 200 days.
My Sales were off the chart!
My point is it is up to you to heal your body!
All the WONDERFUL MONITORS at Connect know my story!
I'm 78 now and still doing well.
Although Lyme Disease has entered my Life, which makes life tougher!
Caner has never returned!
