I had mixed emotions after my appointment.....my scans came back clear this time but I found out that they had seen something on my lungs last time..what the?? Dr. S said if it had still been there during this round of test we would have discussed it.
My Tumor markers came back higher but still not high enough to be concerned, yet. Last go round they were .7 this time 2.5. After leaving his office I looked up what is normal <2.5 non smoker <5.0 smoker. I am a non smoker so does this mean I am at the outer edge of normal?
Dr. S seemed to be happy with my results but did give me the statistics of relapse. So for now I am going with cancer free 15 months:) but I am so worried about the cancer coming back.
The tech that got me so worked up saw that I have severe Arthritis in my back. I had a work related injury to my back over 10 years ago....so yes I have Arthritis. Yes it hurts but after 10 years I manage the pain the pain does not manage me anymore:)
