Don't worry unnecessarily
Belinda... 4 is totally normal. For some people 25 is totally normal For others 200 is totally normal. You say your CEA is 4 and has been that for awhile... then this is your normal and the trend is that 4 is stable for you. So there is no need to worry. If you want to be a 1 then that might not be normal for you and if it's bouncing all over the place, to a 1, then up to a 8, then back down to a 4... either there's a problem or your CEA would not be a good indicator for you.
Be happy, don't worry.... 4 is good... and you are on your last cycle of chemo. Plenty to be happy about there if you ask me
