C.EA Test High. Blood Found During Bowel Movement. Polyp Found During Colonoscopy. Suffered From Colon Cancer Earlier. Concerned
I have had colon cancer in 1997, was operated. In 1998 it went into the liver, and in 1999 into the lung. since than had no recurrence. My C.EA test has always been approximately 3.2 or a little bit up. Now it shows 4.7 a week ago. I think I saw some blood a few days ago. Maybe when cleaned after the bowle movement saw some blood on the toilet paper. had a colonoscopy about a year ago, and a polyp has been found, and I belief to have been removed. I am concerned, and I hope I don't have to go through another colonoscopy. Do I have to be concerned because of the higher level in the CEA test. YYYY@YYYY
