At least we know Chemo is working since my last 4 consecutive controls was rising 3 points every time! So after first control aftet chemo we stop it and droped it!
CEA is been always very reliable, nearly mathematic for me .
Well after some hard weeks,it seems several of us are bringing some good news to the board!.
Hope to hear more news from most of you! y pray for that!

    good news!
    Hi Pepe,

    That news is great to hear! Like yours, CEA is also very reliable for me, so my onc and I watch mine very carefully. I get my CEA drawn today too along with my other labs, right before getting chemo. I always get the other results (CBC) right away- they check that before they'll even give me chemo. I'll have to wait until Thursday for the CEA results. I'll find out when I go in on that day to get the pump unhooked whether or not it's an up or a down this time. Mine always changes a lot- like 20 or more points each time- I sure hope it's a down this time. I've had the pattern of up-down-up-down & last time it was down a little bit, so I'm worried it might be followiing that pattern and go up this time. Of course, I want down, down, down!

    Great news on yours, Pepe- pray that it continues to go down, down, down!

    Have a good day!
    Lisa
