in Colorectal Cancer #1

dropped from 8.9 to 3.1!! I am beyond excited over this since we started chemo at 14.9, I am happier over this than the tumor shrinkage for some reason. I feel CEA is my nemesis lol

    Awesome

    That is great news.  That's a good drop in the numbers so it could mean there is a good indication that the treatment is working.  Any drop like that is excellent news.
