That's Right!
Hi Paula
In reading your post, I don't need to say anything, because you have figured it out
Stable is better than higher nunmbers - and we'll wait and "get 'em" next scan period!
Nice seeing you and praying for peace and calm for you both during this holiday season and beyond.

Stable is good
Hi Paula
I just wanted to send along love to you and John. CEA can jump around anyway and the fact that it is stable is a good sign. On another board I'm on I got this response to living with cancer and worrying about CT results which was helpful to me: "Ups and downs ... this is the part those "without" cancer do not understand. We are either up or down, or thinking about being up or down. It is a "state of mind" the disease places on us. It is ever changing. And, it is always there."
Love, Leslie0 -

My doctor has not even taken my CEA in 3 years because it has always been
in the 'normal range' and never changed regardless of how much or how little
cancer I had in my body.
He said with some people it just is not a reliable indicator.0 -

The news could have definitely been worse, so just hang in there! Stable is a better word than some others I have heard in the past!

Stable is good. And you are all right. Our lives are full of ups and downs now. Not that life isn't that way without cancer. It just seems more urgent for lack of a better word. I guess I need to try and chill out a bit. Thanks for being here and listening to me. I do appreciate all of you. Paula0
