Hi Steph,
Ugh! it seems like everyone who takes the steroids has the same blech experience...

the steady increase in your CEA interests me; as it happened to both you and Christine. I have chosen not to have markers drawn as a matter of course; ;but I will share your experience with my onc tomorrow and reconsider having the CEA drawn just to keep an eye out for brain mets. During my last visit, he said I would need to start with brain MRI's. In light of your experience, I will see about a CEA as well.

How long were you on steroids?
Love, Kim from CT
