Struggling but moving the right way


Test Levels
Here is a graph of the blood tests for tumor marker CA27.29

It is telling you, that at a point in time when the Onc didn't expect to see any decrease in the tumor levels they are dropping.  Getting well below the 50 mark would score a "normal" rating.

My feelings: this is because of all the wonderful people praying for me, offering help with meals, housework, kids, laundry and sending love.

My (non-medical) opinion of what will happen:  I will continue to get "sick" after treatments.  I think it will build up and get tougher as time goes on, but it is still nothing compared to chemo.  I will get through the treatment that is needed, and earn my NED status.

My hope: Someone can explain why my joints are hurting so much, find a solution and I will feel better.
