My doctor's office called to say my CEA was perfectly normal and see you in April for your CT scan! This is 3 weeks shy of one full year since all known cancer was removed during surgery.
My calcium was 1 point too high so they said to not take so much calcium. Also, they did not tell me I wasn't supposed to take calcium for 12 hours before the blood tests for my minerals, etc. Not only had I done that (about 9 or 10 hours prior), but I also ate a whole can of turnip greens (75% of mdr of calcium) trying to make sure my potassium wasn't low. I'm taking 1,700 mgs a day of calcium. Said to stop taking it for a week and then if I wanted to take it again, get my calcium checked and have my PCP help me decide on how much.
I thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for my healing and give HIM all honor and glory!
