I feel like every single team is basically just waiting for one last "big splash" to justify their entire summer. It's hard to tell if these teams are actually building something or just chasing headlines at this point. Does anyone else think we're heading toward a massive domino effect of trades this month?

Hey everyone, if anyone could walk me through what these results actually mean, I’d really appreciate it.

Hematology........Results...........Ref. Range
(PK) SE ..................... 9.......................3-23

Tumor Markers

Test...............Result................Reference Value
(S) CEA..................2.36......................... .0-5.00
(S) NSE................8.6............................ .0.16,3
(S) CYFRA 21-1...0.8.............................0.1-3.3

Reason for testing: After recovering from pneumonia and getting a new X-ray, there's still a "spot" (or shadow) lingering on a small section of the lung, so the patient was sent for follow-up blood work to check tumor markers.
Age: Early 50s
Other: Patient is a long-time smoker (also takes medication for blood pressure [patient has low BP])
