in Colorectal Cancer #1

I just had my 11-month post surgery blood work done and my CEA went down a bit to 1.8.  It was 2.2 two months ago.  For me that is huge!  Last year marked my 4th surgery in 7 years (to the day).  This is the first time I have not had a CEA over 5.0 a year later.  By now I would be either going for scans to find the tumors or already on chemo. It's also the longest I've gone without chemo--15 months!  I can't believe it.  I know I'm not out of the woods yet, but will definitely be celebrating the fact I'm still NED this weekend.  Have a good weekend everyone, Traci

    Thanks everyone!

    I was so happy to get my happy dance man from Sue!  My husband and I went out and had a nice dinner at a favorite Mexican restaurant.  They had closed for a while, so it was a nice treat.  Have an awesome weekend everyone!  Traci
