From the web:
Complete Response (CR): The complete resolution or disappearance of targeted cancerous lesions, through treatment. Sounds like it went away. If I'm wrong, someone will come along and correct me
That's what I thought, thanks!

Re ovarian cyst -- yes, resolution means it is not there in the current scan. But ovarian cysts come and go. It could be there on a later scan.

CEA for me when this all started in 12/16 was 26 for rectal cancer. It then went to 32 in January 2017. In April 3.5 after chemo radiation. I stopped doing CEA and didn’t do LAR and tried Watch and Wait. In November CeA jumped to 500, imagine my shock!!. Liver tumor was present just one. So CEA is a big indicator and spikes higher when in liver. I also have a 4.5mm lung nodule but doc said he wants to just keep an eye on it when I do follow up scan. Honestly didn’t take this seriously and chalked it up to inflammation, and just a dream. Big mistake. Hindsight 20/20
I think you are fine and nothing to worry about. I know the stress of doing these imaging.
