    Sorry to hear this
    My CEA has always been a good indicator. I know it isn't for everyone. There still is a chance that something eles is causing the elevation.

    I'm glad you are having a scan to find out what is going on. Hoping for good results for you.

    Thanks to all of you
    Vickilg......I had the tumor removed and there were no nodes involved and all clear margins, there was nothing in my blood draws sighting anything was rogue so the post op chemo to me wasn't necessary because it was like it was a one shot thing that could have been dormant and simply decided to come alive..It could have just as easily not...I opted not to do any type of post op chemo and the Onc agreed, there was actually nothing to try and irradicate at that time and in my opinion it was a regimen that I could pass on...I am still glad I passed on it...I am just trying to juggle the lesser of two evils and try to determine which is more likely to cause more harm...
    "kinda like having to choose whether to take a bite out of a possum or a skunk".....Im not gonna like either one, but one is what I had to choose.......Im not looking at quantity anymore.....quality now....I have close to all my ducks in a row, now I will give it a good ole fashion butt kickin' and move on again.....and it is good to see you Vicki.....

    Logically
    I would recommend telling the possum the skunk slept with his wife, let the possum eat the skunk, then eat the possum a day later.

    But, being the hillbilly that I am, I'd probably say kill 'em both, mix em up and deep fry 'em.

    Hoping you don't have to eat EITHER of them Buzz, and it was something else that made the marker jigg wildly for some reason.

    Big sigh of relief
    I don't post much on the CRC board anymore but I have been anxiously awaiting your update post. I can assure you that this wonderful news has made my day! I am so releived that rising CEA is all that seems of concern. I will be praying that it was just a fluke.
    Hugs,

    Awesome
    Glad that the scan came out clean. Maybe it was just a bad lab test. Hope your next CEA test comes out lower. It's just so darn frustrating to get the tests and then wait for results.
