Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your CEA level is increased further. It may due to some growth of colon cancer. Chemotherapy is needed according to the need. He should go for ultrasound abdomen or ct scan abdomen to check any visible growth. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
