- My mother was detected as having colon cancer two years ago.
- The CEA level was 38, before she underwent the gamut of
- surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
- After all this, the CEA level went down, however recent
- CEA examinations, show the level to be increasing again.
- Could anyone tell me,what could be the cause, and what else
- could be done?
- Thanks,
-
- Thomas.
