in Colorectal Cancer #1
we have all been taking some hard blows here lately. that frightens me.....

I finally got up the nerve to phone for CEA results yesterday and they were 3.0...up from 2.9 in Dec but still I am going with that

Today was my CTscan.....the waiting room was crammed with cancer patients all drinking our contrast dye....conversations, laughter, hugs good wishes everywhere despite some nasty circumstances.

After my test I ran into a radiologist who said.....Mags I just had a quick look at your scan and I think it looks good.....lungs good.....liver filled with hardware from re-sections but nothing jumped out at him.....i came home fell into bed....tired, exhausted with worry....praying the phone doesn't ring and he has changed his mind

so tentatively I have good news too....appt on Friday with GP to sum things up

best wishes to all

    Enjoy the good news! Thanks for sharing it with us. I don't think there will be a change his mind; I think if there was any question he would not have spoken. So...enjoy, this is a day of victory for you.

    YAY to good news!!! I got home from work to find a message on my answering machine, I go for my first CT three months into the Folfiri...hopefully it will be good news like yours :) I suppose as it gets closer to the date end of the month I'll probably get scan anxiety.

    sounds good
    Hi Mags,

    It sure sounds like good news! I would think it would be quite irresponsible for the tech to say something to you, just to have it turn out to not be good. So, I would think he wouldn't have said anything if there was anything suspect to report. So, sounds good!!

    So far as the CEA, up one tenth of a point since December is nothing to be concerned about- it's still very low!
    Enjoy your good news and you take care!!
