I had an appointment with my oncologist today and he was very happy to see my CEA numbers going down as well!! CEA test is used for some cancers as tumor markers. CEA measures the protein in the blood. Normal levels are below 5. They use it to monitor how well the chemo is working. Mine was 20,000 ng/mL in Nov and then went up to 26,000 ng/mL on 1/14 ( before Chemo #4).
Then after Chemo #4 it went down by 20%. After Chemo #5 (with the stronger chemo), it went down by another 38%! Wohoo!!!! This is great news!!
Thank you again for all your prayers and support! It's such a blessing that I have all you guys to be rejoicing with me!!
Can't wait for blood test on Friday!! Hopefully, more amazing news!!
I am glad are things are going in the right direction. Great news. Keep them coming!
