Before I left for the office this morning I received a call from my oncologist's office. The nurse wanted to tell me the results of my latest CEA count.
CEA counts are used to measure the progress of colon cancer patients especially. Normal for people without cancer is a count of 0-3. With cancer patients it can be as high as 100 or worse. My last count was 14.
But this morning when they called me, they told me that my count was at 2! Which is within the range of a person without cancer!
Of course, this doesn't mean I'm cured, but it's just another reassurance that the chemo is working.
