Sucky, sucky, suckidy, suck (should replace the s with a f)...after a great start with FOLFIRI my CEA came flying down but my result from last week came at 1773- up from 674. I am hoping that this might have to do with pain that I was experiencing in my liver the weeks before and having to miss a chemo due to low neutrophils- maybe just a temp increase?
My onc said last time that we would judge by my CEA to determine a switch to the dreaded FOLFOX...I think I will ask him if it is worth it to do another full chemo (as my previous one half my iritocean (sp?) and then do the CEA again before switching?
