“CEA Results”
Was just diagnosed with colon cancer. Had my pre-op blood tests. The CEA came back with the results of 55.6 ng/ml. What does that mean?

Cea is just a protein produced by many cells in your body including the cancer cells.
When you have colon cancer and other cancer too it will be produced in a larger than normal amount.
You only need to see that it went down to normal after surgery.
Also, please make sure you see genetic counselor because you are young to have colon cancer and you maybe have inherited a gene responsible for tbt colon cancer.
