Hi all,
I hope everyone had a good holiday…
My mom just had her 6 month scans today at Mayo and everything looked great, but we are now noticing a pattern of slowly rising CEA—2.3, 2.4, 3, 3.1 and now 3.4. Should we be concerned about this pattern? She will be 3 years cancer free this March.
Caregiver to my amazing mom (68 at dx)
10/1/18 DX with rectal cancer; CEA 17
T3N2M0
Total neoadjuvant therapy:
8 rounds Folfox 11/5/18 - 2/11/19
Short course radiation 3/14/19 - 3/20/19
Robotically assisted laparoscopic LAR 3/21/19
Pathology report says yT2N0M0 with 0/38 nodes
6/28/19 Reversal and port out
CEA 2.1; 1.9; 2.6; 2.8; 2.3; 2.4; 3.0; 3.4; 3.1; 3.4; 3.0; 3.1; 2.6
