My CEA numbers went up for the first time today. It went up to from 589 to 931. 😞 I'm not sure exactly what this means but it looks like the weaker chemo isn't having the same effect as before. I'm waiting on the doctor to see if my Chemo would change for this Sunday - see if they will add the stronger one back.
I have a lot of doctor's appointments this week for chemo, to assess where we are at, and for another paracentesis. My body still hasn't stopped storying water, so my weight comes back every 2 weeks. However, I will take this over nausea or mouth sores!! Also, please pray for good results on my CT scan! I believe that will determine my treatment plan for the summer.
- Sunday (5/22) - Chemo #12
- Weds (5/25) - Paracentesis
- Fri (5/27) - CT Scan
- Tues (5/31) - Meet with doctor
The CEA results isn't the news we were waiting for but we are still waiting on the doctor to see what this really means (the test results didn't come out till late last night). My husband is a little freaked out. Please pray for him! I am doing good. I am waiting on the doctor to tell us what this exactly means. We shall see! On the positive side, I'm eating more and my dry mouth isn't as severe anymore! I can actually enjoy tortilla and some bready things now!
I feel like we've hit another bump on the road on this journey. I am truly grateful that God has given us all of you for your prayers, support and encouragement! Thank you for being on this journey with us!
