When I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer, with 2 nodes involved my CEA was <0.4. After surgery and every other time it remains the same. So yeah sometimes it just isn't a indicator. So I insisted on a PET scan, which can be an indicator, and it was negative, that is after surgery. So request that for peace of mind, because I feel it is my only indicator anymore.
