Started next round of chemo today, all went OK, and I now have my infusion pump attached.
While in the chemo out-patients ward I asked if they had my latest CEA results, taken 10 days ago. I was quite apprehensive even asking for the results because there was little chance they would be good so soon into chemo and because chemo can push the CEA levels up.
My earlier results were 2.7, 6.6, and recently 7.3. Today's result is 6.1, that can only happen because the chemo is shrinking the tumour. This is a really good result for me, and it means that surgery is most likely to be possible and effective.
I feel really good about this, but the logical part of me is waiting to see what develops....
