Stage 4 going to yearly surveillance!
Re: Stage 4 going to yearly surveillance!
Just wanted to update you that mom got an all clear on her CT today at Mayo...back in 6 months! The one thing that concerned me (just me of course) was her CEA rose from 2.4 to 3 but the onc said that she wasn’t concerned with it because it is still considered normal. To be concerned she would have to see a rising trend over several months and a bigger number. She also reminded us that it was once 2.8 and then dropped to 2.3 the next time. So I will try not to let that stupid number give me anxiety for the next three months. Koreysue knows the struggle
