Hi Patti,
Sorry I didn't see
Hi Patti,

Sorry I didn't see your post until two days after you posted it- so you must have already had the chemo yesterday. How are you doing? I am praying starting right now (Wed, 9:50 PST) that any side effects you may be experiencing will lessen and go away and that your anxiety and worries will be eased. Let us know how you are doing-

Hugs,
Lisa

I am feeling better today
I am feeling better today with no nausea just the neuropothy. My CEA #'s were 15 when I was first dx. and before colon resection, after surgery and waiting 6 wks. and before my first treatment my CEA level was 89.9. After two treatments they went down to 21.9, and yesterday I was given a cea level of 13.7....I was happy but a friend brought to my attention that why would my cea level be so high after the colon was resected? from 15 befor surgery to 89.9 after waiting 6 wks. before treatment. I have not asked the Dr. this because I guess I was just so happy it came down so much from the 89.9. Just another question for the Dr.
I will be having a ct scan next Tues. to get the real picture on what's going on. Thanks to all for your loving, genuine concern. It means alot to me. God Bless, Patti
