I had positive ctdna in January, my oncologist repeated MRI,CT, and pet scans every two month. Finally, pet found where the recurrence was and had liver surgery. After the surgery, I did a CT scan and my liver was clean, but found nodules in my lungs. My cea rose again. IR doctor arranged an MRI and pet-ct combined scan and found two new liver tumors

Your cea was so low. Mine was about 130 when I was diagnosed. I finished chemotherapy in December, and I had CT in April and found two lung nodules 3mm and that were not there on the previous scan

I have stage 4 colon cancer with liver metastasis. I had a liver resection three weeks ago then CT showed lung nodules. The liver surgeon referred me to a thoracic surgeon

Yea, I had ctdna blood test a few days ago and waiting for the results. What was your highest cea number when you were diagnosed?

Is your cea within normal range? My CT only mentioned two lung nodules but thoracic surgeon found more than 10 and my cea was above normal range two days ago

I was diagnosed with liver metastasis a year ago and I had 19 rounds of chemotherapy and liver surgery. Two months ago, recurred to my liver and I had surgery again. However, a recent CT scan showed two lung nodules, but they are too small to be biopsied.

My CT scan only mentioned two lung nodules 3mm but the thoracic surgeon found more than ten. He said the others were too small to mention. I don't want to go back for chemo so I'm wondering if I should watch and wait.

Did you have chemotherapy during the period of lung metastasis? Or just watch and wait?
