Tumour marker blood test
12 Jan 2018 19:46hi I was diagnosed with bowel cancer last March and had an operation to remove some of my colon : the cancer apparently had not yet gone through the muscle wall : the lymph nodes they removed were all clear and the operation seemed a success . But the last two CEA tests have started to go up 5.6 and now 7 the consultant is sending me to have a PETScan . Are there other things beside cancer that can raise the CEA levels : I didn't ask this question when I was with my consultant at the time .
Thank you
Sue
