Well, finally got Amy my Oncologist's Assistant to call me back and my CEA level from seeing the Oncologist and getting blood drawn on 04/13/10 is 100.9 and from when my last chemotherapy and blood draw before that was 100.0. The one before that was 88.9. So although it is not rising in leaps and bounds it is rising, which is a bit worrisome to me.
I am trying to look at it as my Oncologist said that this is a disease like diabetes or heart disease and we have to work at fighting it, and not get freaked out at every little change in CEA levels or PET scans but I will speak to him about it when next I see him whether it's this coming Monday when I have chemotherapy, or the week in between chemo treatments (Monday after this one) as I don't really know when I will be seeing him at this time.
Colon Cancer Stage IV
- Marsha
- This is the story of how at 48 years old I found out I have colon cancer metastasized to lungs and liver making it stage IV. Here will be set my thoughts and fears, hopes and tears, my treatment, good times and bad times, all in order to help others maybe understand what is happening to them or will happen.
