hi there

my Mother has stage 4 bowel ca wth liver and peritoneum mets. her CEA is 9ug/L, i understand it should be less that 5

I am not sure if 9 is a small rise or large one

Does anyone have any info with CEA

we are hoping HIPEC will be a possibility in the future

Hi JoyLou

My mum had a stage 4 diagnosis and it was 7 . Highest it ever got to was 11 . That’s not a high number for a spread for sure .

Is your mum on treatment ?

With low CEA readings I read somewhere that it can be helpful to read the changes in percentages then you get a better feel for how it’s being affected .

Take care ,
