Recurrence in the liver?

Postby vancanes » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:25 pm

This November will be two years since I was diagnosed with Stage IIIC Colon Cancer. I was forty one years old with a four year old son. As I approach my two year mark I am getting more and more anxious about recurrence. I don't know my CEA level pre-op but I do know that before my 1st round of Chemo it was 0.5 and has been below 1.5 ever since. I know that CEA is not the best indication that IT is back. I was wondering what the symptoms were for anyone that had a recurrence and how long it took before IT was back?

HI,
A CT/SCAN OR PET SCAN WILL SEE IF CANCER HAS COME BACK. CAN'T DEPEND ON CEA I WAS STAGE 4 AND HAD A NORMAL CEA AT DIAGNOSIS OF 2 BUT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. WHY DO YOU THINK THE CANCER IS BACK? ARE YOU SICK OR ARE YOU JUST WORRIED?
