My CEA
Over the past couple of months, my CEA has been on a steady incline. This week, it's almost doubled again jumping from 939 all the way up to 1739.

Vectibix only...an offhanded Christmas gift
Ok,, well as you may recall I have been very confused by the results I have been getting. I did the usual Folfox initially and still 6 months later mets were found in my lungs.. tiny yet many.. so then my first onc wanted on give me xeloda.. didn't sound right to me since that is 5FU which I had been on for most of 2011…

Platlets and neutrophils have dropped dramatically
Platlets and neutrophils have dropped dramatically, I know every onco. Is different in their cut off for treatment. I would be interested in hearing the stories from anyone who has time as to the levels which excluded them from treatment.

long term stage iv w/o liver resection?
I've read a lot of survivors that say they have had liver rescetions and that has contribued to their long term, but i'm wondering if the dr. says that it is not possible (ofcourse there is hope the chemo shrinks enough so that it is possible!!!) is chemo enough to keep a person longer term?!

Glitches
I'm sure that there are going to be several glitches for them to fix before all falls into place. I'm not able to comment either. It's going to take some getting used to but glad to have a new forum modification. Thanks CSN for the upgrade. Kim

Is this a temporary malfunction or it's part of the design of the new software ?
Why if I create a thread in the display says it has been created by other? There is no way to know who is writing unless you open all the threads ! Crazy. Also concerning the avatars ,do I have to load my avatar again? . Hugs mates!

Ontario Canada Members
I am not sure how many people are from Ontario. It may be that it is only Maggie and I. Anyways, my husband, Steve, is having a hard time getting a scan. He has had a recurrence of liver mets. He is on session 6 of Folfiri with Avastin. Scheduled to meet the liver surgeon on Jan 8. His onc at the Ottawa Cancer Clinic said…

Can't blame the US Postal Service

So, instead, I have placed on my expressions page for you. Please be sure to click on the image to enlarge it. May each of you find much in your hearts to celebrate…

Tongue Sores
Oh the irony of life. Just yesterday I told my friend that I was feeling good. God laughed and today I woke up with tongue sores and foot pain. I am sure I was not out partying last night so this is chemo related. Doctor called in a prescription for Magic Mouthwash. Does anyone know how quick this works?
