I am researching it as we speak and going to ask my Dr about it. My CEA’s range from right before surgery July of 23 at 1.9. Right after surgery 1.6 September. Up to 3.1 in Oct then 1.9 in Dec of 23. They stay in the 1.7 range til Nov of 24 when we found the bleeding tumor in cuff, at 2.3. Stying in the 2.8 range since.

@myjiggers1 - that's very commendable to take these proactive steps. As your research has probably shown your numbers are all within the normal range for non-smokers. CEA is not always produced by all types of cancer... Your tests like Oncodetect and Signatera have demonstrated a better ability to detect recurrence and effectiveness of adjuvant therapy. Please keep us informed of how your meetings go with your doctor!
