I had a blood test about a month after my surgery and the results came back that my beta HCG were still much higher than they should be. A few weeks later I had another test and I'm waiting to find out about the results to see if it's gone up or down.
Last time somebody rang me up to tell me pretty casually but this time I've been scheduled in for a specific telephone appointment with Oxford hospitals.
I can't tell if this is a good or bad thing or just the way it's all supposed to operate. I don't want anything else floating around in my system.
