I know I shouldn't be freaking out, but I can't help it.
In November my chest x-ray showed a 6mm spot on my lung. My Onc scheduled me for CT chest scan and blood work that I had done this past week. I find out the results from this scan on Thursday.
Today I received results from blood work and CEA has risen from 0.9 to 1.4. My CEA has not changed ever since I finished chemo Sept 2015.
I'm freaking out that I have a lung met now and what I'm going to find out from the Onc on Thursday! I had such a hard time with chemo and my colectomy surgery the first go around, but at least back then I was 'naive' and didn't know what to expect. Now that I've been through all that (and survived it!) I'm finding it hard to not freak out about having a possible reoccurrence and going through it all again.
Any tips on coping with reoccurrence worries/stress?!
