Worried about rising CEA levels

Hello all,

Five years ago in April I was diagnosed with stage IIIb colon cancer. I had a resection and have been having regular follow-up. Polyps removed at both my 1 year out colonoscopy and my 3 year out. In June 2018 by CEA was 1.2. Today it was 7.9. I'm freaking out. Doc is going to repeat the test in 2 weeks and, if still elevated, will order a CT. What are the chances I'm looking at a recurrence?
