My CEA was 0.9, which was new and some diverticulitis, but all the docs suggested I was doing quite well. No more colonoscopy follow ups for the next 5 years, which I find strange??? so will get another from a different doctor in a year to be on the safe side. My oncologist wants me to have one last 6 month interval CT scan in March before reverting to a year, so fingers crossed I can get some more distance between my anxiety bombs soon!
Hope everyone is well, moving forward, and had a Happy Christmas with your families! Thanks for being there for each other!

I’m just finding I’m trying to find a way to adjust and live my life as normal as possible. I don’t want to waste anymore time being sad but also have this crippling scare that rushes over me.
This of course happens over the holidays so everything is more emotional and moving slower. I want to get into a surgeon ASAP but of course the one I was recommended is closed today and tomorrow!
I work for a major casino and it blows my mind casinos are open 24 hours a day but medical facilities seem to move at their own pace. This is my life. I need to know more about what’s going on inside of me!
Just going through what I think maybe the anger phase.
