Have fun on your vacation. Don't let this muck up your vacation.

I'm in the mountains right know. About 70ish. Loving it. Guess Phoenix last I heard was 104. Trump is giving a rally there tonight. Some people around here think 104 is down right pleasant, others not from around here think we are crazy and that it's too hot. One of my former bosses LOVED the heat and would love to go out working when it was triple digit.

Dakness Embraced, can you somehow recheck your CEA even before the scans? Lab mistakes happen. They are not as rare as we think.
Good Luck,

I agree with Lee about unusual jump. We can say "don't worry" but that is very hard to do. Try to focus on nurturing yourself while waiting on the scan and do something fun. I always figure I will be very good to myself just because I have to endure another procedure :lol: . It does help a little. I am already planning my outfit for my next procedure. My daughter laughs butt everything is better when we love ourselves. Hugs back at you girl. Praying for good things!

Thanks Cowgirl, Mariane, ams, and jhocno! I don't think the doctor would have the lab order the CEA test that soon. They already have it set for every 3 months. You're right Cowgirl, it's important to nurture ourselves! :)

Hi darkness,

I would go to the dr and just ask for another CEA. I'm a fellow Canadian and I have been getting mine done more regularly because it went up. It's just an extra vial of blood and it might help keep the blood pressure down. :)

Thank you Liz, Mercy and Stewsbetty! I will Liz! I hope everything will be ok with your mother Mercy!*hugs* Stewsbetty, it's hard to get a hold of my doctor's office most of the time they don't answer the phone right away and it's hard for me to get them to return messages. I know the doctor will just say that we will wait and see what the ct scan shows or doesn't show. Honestly, it's more stressful dealing with the doctor's office than waiting for the ct scan. Besides I will be getting my CEA checked again in November. :)
