On my lab reports the normal range for CEA is >5.0, not >3., as you indicated.
My test runs usually from .9 to 1.2, but was up to 1.6 this last time. I get tested every 3 weeks, and am scheduled for scans on the 20th with next treatment. So, hope the creep up in the number is meaningless. The 27-29 number is stable.
