@musicjewishcarp2008 piggy back on this… a CEA blood test is not always telling… I have always had normal CEA counts and am currently stage 4. Blood work is good but not always telling. I would definitely do a regular colonoscopy no matter how scared you feel… its mind over matter. Hardest thing was baring (bearing) it, but they put you out and you don’t get to be embarrassed. Could totally play with that word… but I won’t. Stay positive. There is a lot they can do if you do have it. I pray for good results and peace of mind.
