I just got an e-mail from my onc and the scan was clear. That is great news. The only glitch was a CEA rising from 1 to 4 in the 6 months since the last scan. His suggestion is a CEA test in 2 months and then see is there is a change... I will talk to him Tuesday but overall good news. Thanks all

    Good News
    heck that is fantasic news. Little ups and downs in CEA is normal, I wouldn't worry too much unless it goes way up. George's CEA is way down since diagnosis but waivers between 18 and 21, onc is not concerned with this little fluctuation especially considering where we started and where we are at.

    Congratulations on this good news!

    Awesome

    Chip,

    So glad to hear your scan is clear. That's the main thing. I know my doctor doesn't rely too much on my CEA as I had emergency surgery so didn't have a benchmark. Really happy for you.

    Blessings and Big Hugs,

    Debbie
