Stable scans but worrisome labs.

Long story short….originally stage iib colon cancer in May 2021. Resection and 4 rounds of Oxaliplatin and NED for 2 years. Now I have mets to liver and lungs. Liver resection, one lung surgery and then 5 rounds of Irenotecan/5FU but disease progressed. Now I'm 12 weeks into a trial drug. Scan at 8 weeks showed "stable" nodules which I will take as a small win. However during that 8 weeks, CEA went from 13 to 153. Scans this week and labs on Monday. Anyone else have similar story with a good outcome?
