| CEA test vs CA 125
Most recently during my mom's annual physical, I demanded for the dr to add CEA test in her blood test.. b/c my dad had cancer last year...
anyway the result was back and she had 2.7, which according to dr, for non smokers, the normal range should be below 2.5...
we had her do stool test (which was clear, plus my mom had been having colonoscopy since 8 years ago and the last time, dr gave her 5 year clear).
then we had stomach screening test, where she would have to drink some white stuff and they would screen it and take pic... and dr said it looks to be clear as well.
my mom's other blood work are normal...
she had a hysterectomy when she was 46, she is 67 now, and she only have 1 overy left, last time her pap was normal...which is 2 years ago, she will do a pap in few weeks....
she also had Ultrasound for the abdominal area, which include liver, lung, pacreat.... kidney... not sure about pelvic area.
my question is if her CEA is that way, does she needs to do a CA 125?
what else should we test?
