    Thanks, everyone & my CEA news
    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks, all, for your replies and support :)
    One foot in front of the other- there will be days like this & I just hope and pray it will all be behind us someday (sooner, rather than later!)

    Well, I got my CEA results & it was one point lower than three weeks ago. It was 74 3 wks ago and 73 this time. I was sure hoping it would have dropped down a lot lower than that, BUT I'm still relieved that it didn't go up, as it did end of July up until last time. So, I guess the jury is still out on whether or not the supplements I'm taking are helping or not, but I still kind of think they are. In fact, out of the two weeks I'm on the Xeloda (3 pills in a.m. and another 3 in p.m. each day for 2 wks), I skipped taking it 4 different times cause it was making me feel so lousy. So, even with doing that, the CEA didn't rise, even came down a point. So, not too bad, I guess.

    Thanks again- you guys are always good to pull me (or anyone) out of the muck.

    Love ya'll!
    Lisa :)

    Lisa, so glad to hear about
