Hi all, I'm new here and UK based. DX Nov 2021, had high anterior resection followed by 4 cycles of Capox as one out of 40 nodes was found to be positive. For the past few blood tests my GGT levels have been raised and my CEA has been rising slowly but steadily - from 0.9 pre chemo to 1 during, 1.9 afterwards and 3 at last test (end of June, 3 months post chemo finishing). GGT at last test was 54 having gone up to 154 previously.
It's my understanding that the liver processes CEA so liver inflammation could account for rising CEA (hoping so!) but i just wondered if anyone else had slightly higher GGT levels and if they had an effect on your CEA?|
I did try to search to avoid duplicating topics but 'GGT' was unsearchable as too short!
TIA x
