Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Colorectal Cancer Support Group.

I have not yet had surgery. I will have that the end of this month. I did have a biopsy both from colon and liver. Both were Adenocarcinoma. My initial symptoms that I recognized were loss of appetite, weight loss, lower abdominal pain. Looking back I had a few more symptoms that I ignored such as blood in stool( thought it was just hemorrhoids) changes to stool, fatigue and so on.

Thank you for your reply. Research showed Mayo to be best. I am just worried as to what my husband will face in the coming months. Have you seen improvements in your tests? Have CAE levels dropped? Have you had the mass in colon removed? Are you in a trial?

My CEA level has dropped from 29.8 to 7.6. I have colon surgery scheduled for the end of this month then will have liver surgery. Positive thoughts were beneficial both mentally and physically to me.

Hola a mí me paso algo parecido y fui operado en enero de este año, gracias a Dios todo salió bien y tengo una vida normal, no tuve necesidad de tratamiento, espero que siga así solo me toca hacer mis chequeos que me manda el médico.

Suerte y todo le salga bien.
