At least we know Chemo is working since my last 4 consecutive controls was rising 3 points every time! So after first control aftet chemo we stop it and droped it!
CEA is been always very reliable, nearly mathematic for me .
Well after some hard weeks,it seems several of us are bringing some good news to the board!.
Hope to hear more news from most of you! y pray for that!

I walked 4 miles with a friend of mine @ 5:30 this am and it was wonderful. What a better way to start the day than to see the sun come up! How about you?

Hi Pepe,

That news is great to hear! Like yours, CEA is also very reliable for me, so my onc and I watch mine very carefully. I get my CEA drawn today too along with my other labs, right before getting chemo. I always get the other results (CBC) right away- they check that before they'll even give me chemo. I'll have to wait until Thursday for the CEA results. I'll find out when I go in on that day to get the pump unhooked whether or not it's an up or a down this time. Mine always changes a lot- like 20 or more points each time- I sure hope it's a down this time. I've had the pattern of up-down-up-down & last time it was down a little bit, so I'm worried it might be followiing that pattern and go up this time. Of course, I want down, down, down!

Great news on yours, Pepe- pray that it continues to go down, down, down!

Have a good day!
Lisa

Just wanted to say that I was wrong about getting my CEA taken before chemo. I thought it was due, but was told it wasn't due yet and that I'll get it drawn before I have chemo next time, in another two weeks.
I actually don't mind waiting- it will give more time for the chemo and supplements to hopefully do some work!
