On a personal level, he is doing well at this time and his first scan since starting chemo is on April 11th. We are praying for some positive signs on the scan and ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers as I know we all pray and hope for eachother. God Bless and keep the faith.

The CEA level does vary from lab to lab so when it is reported that lab report will usually include the normal range for the CEA at that particular lab. It will vary some naturally during chemo due to the effect on the cells. But it is important that if there is a rise that it be followed more closely to make sure it is not steadily rising which could be ominous if it is a large and continuing rise. For me, the CEA has not, so far, been significant as it has never been above 1 even with the recurrance.
