I had a rising CEA through Adjuvant Chemo and it went above normal so the oncologist ordered a scan which showed nothing (though it's a relief). It turned out to be exercise related as I increased my exercise regularly while I was undergoing chemo. I think that there are a few known things that are...

Great news AmyG Wishing you a good response to chemo. Btw, (You have no info in your signature) do you now if you have any mutations and if you are MSS or MSI? I presume that they tested your resected colon tumor.. Kind regards/LPL
Well I must be doing well because they want to start the pump chemo TODAY. We were just expecting saline. Glad I had sushi yesterday! Sounds like they only found one affected lymph node, near the colon, which was removed during surgery. Pathology on all the other nodes was negative. I was a bit sur...
I had a CT scan yesterday and Sandy called me today to say there was a blood clot on my spleen vein. Back to MSK for syringes full of blood thinner - I gave myself a shot in the bathroom and then we took a bus tour of NY! I’m now 9 days out. My swelling has been reduced significantly, and I’m walki...
I see a recent article in Science that will be published soon that there are concerns the possibility that in a few instances that so called checkpoint inhibitors could be the cause of "hyperprogression" seen in a few patients. Some cancer researchers wonder whether it is simply an illusi...
Good Luck today Hopie ! My husband did 4 chemo before liver resection and 8 after. The CT-scan after 4 chemo showed that 1 met had shrunk a little and 1 met had grown a little. (I called that ”no change” in my signature). The pathology said the same for both liver mets; that it was very few living c...
Oh wow I presume they had my bed on max the whole time then. I could feel how the mattress changed now and then. Good that you figured out how to make it better.

Still no bowel movement, so they don’t want to discharge me. But I’m feeling good so I may insist on it tomorrow...
