When was this CEA test done (7.0)
When I was on chemo, one of my Dr ordered a CEA test, and my number doubled from my number after surgery. I got scared, surgeon assured me it's okay. Guess the CEA is picking up a protein that the cancer is emitting. And they tend to emit this protein when they are dying off. It took about 6 months for my CEA to get back to my after surgery number.
You say you are a stage IV. Where is your met? From what I understand, liver met tend to have a higher CEA number. Don't know why.
It's good that you are being monitored, hopefully it is nothing serious. Have you ever had a PET scan?
