Question: Has anyone had a large spike in their cea afer switching treatments. My dad switched from vextibux/campostar to 5 flu/erbitrux, and campostar and his cea shot up 115 points in 2 weeks. Anyone had such a reaction? In the past, his cea has never climbed like this while on treatment (whether it was working or not). I am getting nervous. We have an appointment with a specialist at Hopkins tomorrow and I hope that he can help my dad.

I'm sorry, I don't have any answers for you, but I saw that no one had replied. It's not that we're not reading, it's that no one has an answer. Please let us know how that appointment went. Hugs and prayers,
Kirsten
