Hi Vicki,

I agree with Becky, this may be normal for you. But CEA, from what my doctors told me, is they don't get worried about it until it gets over 5 which yours is. The test they run on me, normal is 1-2.5/ Mine generally run around 3.1-3.5, but again they don't get worried until over 5. Anything else on your blood work out of whack? That maybe why they are not worried? I have been wondering if or when how long does it take for your blood chemistries to catch up with your TM's or symptoms? Are you having any symptoms? You might want to do a personal message to Steph N, this has been her biggest predictor for mets, she may have more insight or be able to help you out. But I bet in the long run, Becky is probably right. Best to you.
