Hi everyone. Had 9th round of chemo today and my CEA levels continue to drop. Started at just over 9000 in late April and are now 68.4. I will have CT scan in a couple weeks to see if numbers correlate with tumor shrinkage.I know we shouldn't dwell on numbers but, can't help but be happy to see this down ward trend. The chemo I'm receiving now is Iriontecan and vectibix every two weeks. This combo seems to be working well for me.Blessings to you all.
Deb
