CEA Update
So my dad got diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer last year and after all his treatments he was declared all clear in January of this year. We recently all had a scare where his CEA went up to an 8.1, but after a few more higher levels his CEA was back down to a 4.8 at his appointment this past Friday. I’m so relieved! His oncologist said this can happen to some patients and it doesn’t always mean cancer reoccurrence. I’m a nurse and a serial worrier, but I’m going to just take this win for now. Thank you to the people who replied to my original post. Praying daily for all of you!
