My husband had radiation (SBRT) to his liver met in January. His CEA went from 4.8 pre-radiation to 14.3 about 3 weeks after his last dose. Two weeks after that (5 weeks after his last dose) it was back down to 3.2 and has continued to fall since. His radiation oncologist told us this could happen so we were expecting it...still made me nervous though!
