Just got back from my ONC and my CEA is 1.1 and no signs of the beast at all!!! I am so excited. I have so much to be thankful for and I am just bouncing off the walls. What a relief, I still have to have check ups but to me this is like a milestone that I have gotten past and I just feel like the weight of the world has lifted off my shoulders.

I want to thank all of you here on this board, all of which have helped me get through this ordeal. I know I still have a ways to go, but for now I am just enjoying the day!!

I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers, and I will be around always, I am not leaving this board, its my second family that I love and respect so very much.

God Bless all
Beth

    You go girl! You are kicking this beast a$$!! I pray many more years of clear scans, and always NED! It's sure is hopeful to other people with Stage 4, that they can become NED, and to never lose hope. I am so happy for you!!

    Hi! Hugs to you
    CONGRATS. Being Stage IV you give me great encouragement. It is great to hear NED is possible. I was diagnosed this June and am new with it all. I just finished up my 6th chemo tx out of 12 and had to report back to the liver surgeon today for my mid MRI results. He came in smiling ear to ear that all spots are clear that the chemo was working well and that I needed to come back in 6mos. my onc told me my counts were at 2.2. Did you fluctuate? or did you hold at a low CEA? Keep up the good work and God Bless you and Happy Thanksgiving.

    My CEA
    has stayed low since I had surgery to remove the mets from my lung a year ago. The highest it has been was 1.7....Keep fighting, great to hear the chemo is working so well for you, I know you will be NED in no time.. I will keep you in my prayers...

    God Bless you
