Got my scan results today,.CEA has fallen to 5 so in the edge of normality!.
Lymph nodes disappeared and now on its normal size, small lung mets shrunk in a 50% aprox but difficult to calculate since they were so small in the beginning ,6mm, that scan can,t be so sharp to say if its now 4mm or 3mm any way 50% or near!.All this after 5 round of chemo ,now 4 rounds more and scan again. doc confident to get it disappeared in the next scan: You thing would be possible?.
Hugs and thanks for your support mates!.
BtW i know is a silly question! hahaha!

    From reading of others
    From reading of others experiences, I gather that response to chemotherapy is very difficult to predict, but is extremely important. I think you should be very pleased with your latest results.
