CEA Fluctuations
My husband has just completed his 3rd cycle of Carboplatin and Etoposide for prostate cancer liver mets. Before the first cycle his CEA was 38 (should be <5) This number is being used as baseline. After 1st cycle it was 30.3 but after his 2nd cycle it rose to 32.7. Is it normal for CEA to fluctuate

I went privately to see a gastroenterologist as the previous one I had done on NHS stated that I did not need a follow-up even though they found Atrophic Gastritis and Hyperplasia.

I’ve had chronic pain for the past 10 years. The headaches are manageable now but the stomach pain is really bad. Recently it’s gotten worse. Constant burning pain, acid reflux, chronic gastritis. I try to eat simple things like chicken, potatoes, soups, but I’m still in pain and I get tired of eating
