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!
