So, could the pastrami have driven up the tumor marker? I never eat red meat, ordered by mistake and then was starving.

I don't think the one sandwich would have done it and there are some Drs that don't even look at this testing because of multiple reasons the numbers could be elevated. The problem lies when us patients look at these numbers as important because we don't understand the whole spectrum of all the different types of factors the Drs use to determine our path of recovery.
