Re: Recurrence with normal CEA??

A couple of thoughts and questions (probably not worth much) I guess the fact that the Liver enzymes are elevated makes you think that your husband might have Liver Metastasis, however liver mets very often cause CEA to elevate and your husband does not have that. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articl...

Re: Nervous with recent symptoms

Re: Stage 2A N0M0 cea rising at four years
