Hey everyone...just dropped by to say I saw my surgical oncologist yesterday, and my CEA (tumor cell count in my blood) is "less than 1" and I will get these done every 3 months, for life now. My scans didn't show any new cancers either.....whoohoooo!!!
I DO have a ventral hernia...soooo I am being referred to a surgical specialist who does nothing but these hernias, laparoscopically. I will see her in about 3 months.
As far as the pain I have in my right flank, and under my liver....we will continue to watch, and see if it is "surgical incison healing".
The malaise & fatigue are slightly improved...will take time as that surgery, which was done just 5 months ago today...was with a huge toll on my body, having TWO major abd. surgeries consecutively. My prenatal vitamins and extra iron, as well as B12 shots monthly for life, will help this eventually. I am so very thankful!!! for being as healthy as I am.....thank the Universe & goddesses!!!
My doctor says every time we get a good CEA result, I am getting to be a "longer term" survivor of colon cancer!!!! THis was very reassuring to me...smiles..
Thank all of you...for always thinking of me, keeping me in prayers, holding me close, and walking this path. I heart you all...love..Clay
