    This is disappointing for both you and Pete, hope the scans find it's not cancer but something else going on that's causing this spike.

    Thanks all. I appreciate
    Thanks all. I appreciate your kind words. I can see that my CEA started its up swing since I went back to work. I have started to go in an hour later and just that has helped my spiritually, it so much nicer going to work in daylight hours. If my CEA does not improve by the time I have to start nights and work 7 days a week, I will not be working. I already did my time of company devotion and all they did was toss me and my colon out! No thank you! :). I plan to take care if my body.

    I remain positive and optimistic!

    Raquel.

    Happy Anniversary
    Happy Anniversary to you and your husband. That is quite an accomplishment!

    I am sorry your CEA is on the rise. I hope it's from some inflammation or something else. You are definitely in my prayers. We were diagnosed at the same time...

    Chemo time
    Ok. Dr appt over. I have some cancer activity on my liver that got picked up on my pet scan but not on the ct. That means that it's too small to be picked up on the CT scan. I can do chemo now in pill form or wait and check my blood level monthly (CEA) for 3 months I have decided to wait 3 months. Either way it looks like chemo for 6 months is the plan. It's not as rough as before but still has side affects. The activity has always been there it's just now growing a bit....so, it must be cancer. Hubby wants me to start chemo. I have to think about it. Summer and long hours start in August. Onc said March and a 30 day break is what he recommends. Starting now I would be pooped right on time for my busy season....by August. It's Avastin, and i can't remember the other chemo pill. I should have wrote it down! He sad I could do 6 pill a day, morning and night, or two pills every day, or a #? pill for five days, and five days off.

    My husband asked what are the benefits of waiting for the chemo...Ah, I don't know! ONC said 3 months on, one off, then three on, that would allow me a month to build some strength for my busy summer months (work 12/7). I really think that he is not sure it's chemo, I mean why would he wait?!?!?!

    Gosh, what was that chemo name! I think Xeloda Big Mind dump

    I have been waiting for your update. So sorry that it has reared it's ugly head again. I certainly hope that whatever chemo regimen you choose will not have terribly bad side effects and it will wipe this little bugger out and you will become NED again soon.

    Take Care,
