CEA Blood Test results

Posted by jarhead1 @jarhead1, Mar 20, 2019

Recently I had successfully fought Colon Cancer Stage 4 and Liver Cancer Stage 5. When I completed my treatments my CEA was 3.0 in September 2018, now like two days ago it is 20.6. My Dr says we may need to do a PET Scan to look for culprits. Any thoughts

Hello @jarhead1. So sorry to hear your CEA is elevated again. Is this your first CEA since Sep 2018? I would certainly follow the doctor's advice and get a PET Scan immediately. A hug ….
