Well, the scan date is set for hubby, 23rd March, after 8 rounds of chemo (should have been after 6 but delayed due to covid). Hubby is very anxious, so it's a blessing and a curse, he wants to know it's working but what if it's not? Going to be a long 8 days. On the plus side we've had his CEA report, at the start of chemo 3/12 it was a whopping 14,106 and last week was at 2, 008, so we are hoping this is a positive sign. His Hb was 7.8 at the start and 13.1 this week. Praying for shrinkage, love Frances
What a drop in his CEA . That is very encouraging and it’s certainly been doing something good . Hope his scans bring further good news . Everything has gone in a better direction .
Scans bring such horrible emotions , a necessary evil but they can bring great news too . Holding out for some good news for you both .
He does produce the antigen!! Lovely to see that downward trajectory.
Hi Court, he certainly does, at first diagnosis the surgical Consultant said the CEA is high, its 7,000, we were shocked, by the time he started chemo it had rocketed to 14,106 in just 5 weeks, so it's mind blowing, and looks like it's a good marker for him, desperately hoping it can be a game changer for him and open up some more options. Thanks for your encouragement as always, love Frances xxx
