Hey, I didn't post on Friday that I had blood drawn, because I figured I'd post today with wonderful CEA results. Well, I could if I KNEW the results! I called at lunch time today and had to leave a message. Even though I left my cell phone number, they didn't call back. I am assuming that since my oncologist didn't call me personally, everything is okay. He's the sort who will call if he feels it necessary.

Hoping for good news tomorrow!

*hugs*

I got my good CEA news today (went down from 88 to 73; it's headed in the right direction, anyway), so now it's your turn for good news! Your good news, of course, will be that it's still within the normal range & I'm sure that it will be. My CEA normally comes back the next day, but I had to wait from Thursday to Monday this time. Hopefully your lab was just a day delayed like mine was (or your dr. was just too busy to call you back) and you'll have your good news tomorrow morning!

Hugs,
Lisa

If my CEA is done; they usually have the results the same day. CT scans....that's another story!

I'm good! I got through to the nurse today, and my CEA stayed the same as always.

Thanks for all the good thoughts.
