in Anal Cancer #1

Had my blood work and 1 year CT this week. The CEA is steady at 1.3 and the CT is clear. I'm very relieved, because I have aches and pains everywhere and of course the first thing I think of is metastases.

My life pretty much returned to normal, I'm back to work which I enjoy very much. I have to restart everything, because of a bad divorce, the long disability and medical bills I'm not in the best financial shape. But as long as I'm healthy I remain optimistic.

I'm reading the board every day and try to give the best support I can. I want to offer my support and best wishes to all of you again, especially to those that are down.

    Glad to hear your scan results were clear, thats great news! While financial shape is very important it is even more important to be in good physical condition so you can work on getting your financial stability back. You'll be just as successful in that area I'm sure!

    Laz, very happy to hear your good reports, yes the financials can be like shoveling in a snowstorm, I know that from 5 years of large medical bills, but the sun comes up every morning after a dark night and summer shows up every year after rough winters so we will get there, hopefully sooner than later. Wishing you all the best and good health
