Hi I was diagnosed stage IV Feb of 2015. As of Feb 2016 I was clear of all cancer. I am scanned and CEA every 3 months. CEA was 3.1 in Nov and scan showed a lymph node 15-16mm in lower abdominal where original Cancer started. Dr said they word watch this. I just had my CT and CEA completed for Feb and my CEA is now 13.1 and they said the lymph node is much bigger. They said scan showed no cancer in organs. I do not see Dr until Feb 25th. I am worried. Has anyone had this issue before
