This is all too familiar with a tumor marker test I have been going through for the past almost 8 years. CEA. I hate this blasted test as it creates so much anxiety in cancer patients. I get why it's used and the results from this test solely isn't a prognosticator for cancer. But there are so many things that affect this test and even if you have a low CEA number doesn't mean you're cancer free. I've been dealing with 4 years of extremely elevated CEA numbers and no one can tell me what is going on. My oncologist says I'm case study worthy as I've gone through all manners of testing: MRI, PET/CT, CT w/contrast, upper GI endoscopy, small bowel capsule endoscopy, and colonoscopy. All clear.
Seems I have to look forward to another potential paper chase with PSA testing whenever I get ordered to start getting tested.
