My CEA always jumps with each blood test. However, the highest CEA I've ever had was 2.6 and that was while I was on FOLFOX. After treatments were over, I have ranged from less than 0.1 to 1.8. It has, for the most pat, been between 1.4 and 1.8. Two weeks ago, it was 1.5. (I get my blood work done every 6 weeks) My oncologist is not worried at all. At 2.0, you are still "normal." See what you're next reading is, and if you are worried, discuss it with your doctor. For now, enjoy your Memorial Day !!! Andre
