Woohoo!

Just got some of my blood work back from last Friday, and my cancer CEA value has improved! I think that means the chemo thing is working! These numbers aren't reliable for everyone, but for me, historically, they've been an accurate reflection of my cancer status. There's another number the docs watch called the cancer antigen, but those results aren't back yet. Both of these numbers being elevated over the summer was my first indication that my meds had stopped working and then that was verified by PET scans. Anyway, happy news, my numbers are down, and that makes all the chemo totally worth it! All those good vibes you've been sending are working!!
