Hi you guys, onc called to go over bloodwork. He said all is perfect but CEA is up to 8.8. He wanted to stop xeloda until we do a PET scan. I said NO to stopping xeloda for 3-4 weeks. So, continuing with it until scan and see if anything is going on or not. My concerns are why did cea rise but everything else look good? Could it be that I had to slack off PSK until more arrived and some other supplements? Idk. Here are some markers and hopefully you all can help me see something onc and myself are missing maybe.
