Good News (I Think)
Hi All Well I checked in with the doctor today. I feel I received good news. My blood work and tumor markers are "normal". My markers were 19. I'm not sure 19 of what, but the doctor said they need to be under 38. Does anyone have any other input or knowledge of what the markers are all about? Anyway, because the doctor considers this to be a good count, we will wait another 8 weeks before performing any scan and mammogram. Eight weeks from now will place me at the one year mark and the doctor felt that would be an appropriate time to do repeat scans. So I guess I am "doctor-free" for eight weeks. I won't know what to do with all my extra time!!! All I know is that I need to enjoy and not worry. Right now I am away, not free, from my cancer. I'm beginning an exercise program and support group. So hopefully everyday will be a little better. Please share with me any information you can about breast cancer tumor markers. I hope everyone is well and I pray for you all every night that the Lord may hear what you are in need of. Love to All, Chris
