Hi Gail,
I get mine done regularly at my primary phy. and if it is taken in the morning, I can call for the results the next afternoon. It's all depending on the lab and how quickly they work. Just remember, even if it is high, first they retest to make sure it was not a bad test, so don't get upset if that happens. Also, CEA is not always a good marker for all. Good Luck!!
