Hi Sammy, try not to worry.. the tumour markers are just that, markers.. They can be an indication of something going on but can also sometimes be other things in your body showing up and waving for a while.. if this is your first blood test where the cea has snuck up a little and all your other numbers are OK.. I can see why the onc is not too worried but would have wanted to touch base with you just so you knew... I would think they will keep an eye on you and if it rises again perhaps do a scan to see if there is anything to find out about.. also so you would be aware that if anything changes you would let them know..
I am sending you a hug because it is a knifes edge we live on and it is damn hard sometimes
It is easy to say but I try to live by it myself (especially as a super turtle!! living with secondaries) - it is nothing until they say it is and until (or if) they do then I will deal with it then.
seriously LARGE turtle hugs coming your way xoxoxoxoxox
