Re: Biopsy Question

Thanks Lee!! Good news is that my CEA level is normal. My onc says to wait and quite frankly, I’m tired of tests and being poked and prodded and medical appointments and anxiety and everything else. But I am grateful that so far I’m better than a lot and I do recognize this fact. Hugs to all.

Re: First post chemo scan

Just wanted to say that I hope you hear the best news!!
It is difficult, nearly impossible to do, but I just decided that I am going to think positively until a doctor tells me something bad. Then I will deal with it. Doesn't seem like a whole lot else we can do.

Re: Cancer: The ultimate friendship killer?

Oh my gosh, I don't even know where to begin... I am laying here awake at 3:45 am because I sleep at 20 minute intervals. I have since my husband was first diagnosed in Nov 2014. He died 9 months after diagnosis. I know that being diagnosed at an earlier stage is what we all hope. What I do know; ho...

Re: Little delay in treatment = disappointed

The missing a treatment because of blood levels Happened to me too. I had also planned to be done by a certain date. It didn't work out. The c really controls every aspect for so long. I did get thru and now have 3 months of "free time". You hang in there. You've come a long way. All my be...

Re: Clustering

Same issues here. I think the storage capacity is just too small. It's all weird now. I get scared to attend work meetings or really any functions cause when I have to go, I need a bathroom and some time for all that.

I have no answers really. Just know you are def not alone.

Re: Off topic rant

If you find that "break" you mentioned, let me know. I wouldn't know what to do.

Hang in there and chin up.
