I am so sorry
damned CEA, I am praying for you. This just sucks and I am sorry you got bad news today. Has your CEA been a good indicator for you? Hopefully the scan will show it out and you will know what to go after. Hang tough, Sheri

Sheri,
I am sorry to hear this. I am glad you are getting in for a CT scan quickly. I am thinking of you.

Sheri22 -
It's a fairly well known fact that the CEA level can (and will) spike
during (and sometimes after) chemotherapy. It's due to the cancer
cells dying and releasing the CEA contained. A lot of cancer cells
dying at once can raise the level substantially!

don't waste your energy
jumping to conclusions as we all come to learn is just useless. this energy should be tapped only if and when a real fight needs to occur. sometimes during treatment CEA can rise and again sometimes this is a good sign the chemotherapy is working. let's all hope and pray this to be the case.

hang tough
It is scary. When I got good news back on my scan I started to cry. My wife had a hard time understanding this since it was good news. I was scared about what I could hear. Its terrible but try to keep strong, keep fighting. You are not deafeted. My prayers for you.

Hang in there
I'm hoping that your spike in CEA is caused by something else. My cancer in the pancreas turned out to be pancreatitis. So you just never know. Maybe you have something else going on that isn't cancer, but caused the spike - an infection somewhere or something else.
While I don't wish infection or anything bad on you, I'm hoping you do have something wrong that is NOT cancer! Hoping for a cancer-free scan for you.
