My CT Scans....

WoW....Well I am so humbled by all your posts to me wishing me luck and being prayers, you all bring me up when I'm feeling down, and know that I pray for each and everyone of you every day and night!

My appointment with the onc was pretty much the same, except my tumors are still shrinking! Though my liver has too much disease on it to do anything with, she told me it would probably never get to that point of where nothing would work, or it would be too dangerous for me, my CEA levels were alittle spiked, and I have a few teeny tiny nodules that are just doing nothing, they are just there, and have no activity, she said it may not even be cancer, but lungs are clear and I breathe fine, she is keeping me on the Irinotecan until she is confident enough that my disease is stable, she wants a month to see if my CEA goes down.

She said it was perfectly normal for CEA's to go up and down with each visit, and even though I had a small spike there, my tumors are actually shrinking, so I look at it as a good thing, that there was no new growth, it's still getting smaller, there's just too much of it to want to do anything further. Which, she is probably right, but she says she's had many patients who were worse then me live many years, and still are, and not to lose hope, they are still seeking out cures and trials and all.

So, I'm now connected to my little 5fu pump, had some KFC with the kids, and let them know the news, they were just happy that I am still feeling good, and I still have hope, maybe not for a cure for me, but hope that I can still be around for a long time as well, miracles do happen, and your prayers sure helped me! Thank you all my brothers and sisters, I truly love everyone on this board, you help me out of despair as well, I don't know what I would do without all you! But, I feel great, and don't feel like I'm going anywhere too soon Keep the Faith All

Hugssss and Loveeee tooo allllllll!!!!
