Post Surgery Update

Saw Onc again today, 3 weeks ago I started Avastin, before the Avastin I learned my CEA was down to 4.2 after surgery, with not having chemo for two months. So before I got my first dose of Avastin 3 weeks ago, they took my blood for another check. I found out today it was down to 3.4, again, that made it no chemo for 3 months pre/post surgery, still dropping, which are great numbers for me, a former 2 pack a day smoker, (just forced quit when had surgery December 20th) still occasionally have a cigarette which equal about 2 cigarettes a week. So today before the second Avastin (I also started the Xeloda back up 3 weeks ago)blood was taken again, I'm eager to see my CEA marker next 3 weeks, which will only show only 1 dose of Avastin and one of Xeloda, I'm looking for that number 1 to show up eventually, not bad for someone who's original CEA count was in the thousands!!!
The only problem seems to be a mass keeps showing up on my sigmoid, which during colonoscopy in November showed there was nothing there. But the ct scan I had 4 weeks ago, still shows a mass (this is same mass that has showed up since first CT scan, they thought this was where the tumor was originally, only to discover it was on right side colon instead). Onc says we won't worry about it at the moment since the lungs and liver showed clear and CEA numbers still dropping.
So he's going to increase the Avastin next time and possibly take me off of Xeloda, so I'll just be doing Avastin. How great is that?
So I can't say I'm NED yet, due to strange mass in sigmoid area, but I'm sure getting close I think.
Then he mentioned that a year ago things were looking very dire for me, he said "Wow, what a difference a year makes!" I have to agree with him.
Living and loving life at the moment.
