Failing Kidneys and dealing with Breast Cancer too

Posted by kbirk @kbirk, Dec 5, 2021

Hi, I'm 71 and have had a kidney disease most of my life . My kidneys are failing. My creatinine today was 5.92. I also have Breast Cancer. I found out yesterday thru a health portal my CEA went from 2.50 to 3.10. At this point I don't know which one to be the most afraid of. Thank you for listening. Karen

@kbirk

Well, I went and she wasn't concerned at all about the CEA. All my other tests were normal except for the Kidney ones. We looked back at my other CEA and when my kidney function went up so did the CEA. Karen

@kbirk Karen, if you have been with this doctor for a while and feel confident in her, then go with what she is saying.
