post chemo theraphy
Elevation in cea tumor marker after completing your chemo cycle. I was diagnosed with srage 3 colon cancer. i have colon resection surgery in december of 2020. i started a 12 cycle chemo theraphy.. in august of 2021 i had a ct scan and it did not show any evidence of cancer in the body, however my cea tumor marker keep elevating. my dr had order a pet scan for december. has anyone every had this to happen to them?
I am beginning to get a bit worried. My cea tumor went from 8.8 in August to 38.6 in September. I pray the ct scans were correct and I don’t have cancer any place else in the body.
