Husband has colon met. to liver/lung/lymph nodes, stage 4 terminal since 3/00. Claims no 'pain',only 'kinks'in back. CEA
went from 50-2/01;174-5/01;329.9-7/01. Still able to move about,
but toes have gone numb & even with excercise no improvement. He
wants to know if cea count is showing the 'down-hill' along with his feet numbness,eye tearing,splotchy skin?? It's important to him to know this, but Dr. doesn't seem to agree with him on talking more about his tests/symptoms. Does anyone have the info to help him know where he stands..he is prepared for death, but
guess he wants to know if this is normal progressive??? Thanks!
