Hello,

My mother diagnosed with colon cancer stage 3B, 5 months ago.

Her 11th term of chemotherapy (out of 12) scheduled on this Wednesday. Something is not normal in her blood tests before each chemotherapy session. Her CEA level before the surgery was 7 and after of that has kept rising steadily.

It has reached 16, last time, and We are too concerned.

Her oncologist suggested a PET scan which would take place on this Sunday.

As long as I understood, rising CEA level during chemotherapy is common. I like to hear your experience.
