Hello,
From a biopsy I have been diagnosed with
adenocarcinoma in the colon. I had surgery to remove it and at
that time it was found that 4 of 21 lymoh nodes were infected.
However,
prior to surgery, my CT scan just showed a 3.5 cm mass and no lymph
involvement, my PET scan didnt show anything at all, and my CEA blood
test came back 0.5, well within normal.
Is that normal for
these scans to come back like this, and if so, how can anyone tell if
you are really cancer free when they look at these?
thanks
