I am worried his cancer is returning. He has his 6 month scan is in 2 weeks and an appointment for results 2 weeks after that. He returned to work (after 10 months off) in late May. This was also the same time he had his 4 month CEA of 0.9. As of yesterday we realized his appetite has slightly decreased at dinners and he is down about 5 lbs. He says no other symptoms. We are thinking could this be due to him returning to work (as a pipefitter) and being more active and/or eating less at dinner because he is tired of eating at home and not dining out (due to coronavirus)
He also had 0/42 nodes which I know is a good prognostic factor, I just can't stop worrying
CEA at diagnosis 4.9
CEA during chemo 3.4
CEA 2 months after surgey 1.8(and a clear PET scan)
CEA 4 months after surgery 0.9
So based on this it seems his CEA was always accurate and should reassure us the cancer is not back. I am just a worrier .
Thanks
