Oct 2012

I've had other scares.

On Tuesday, I got a call to go get a CT scan the next day. I have no idea why, since my CT wasn't scheduled for another 2 months. I called my cancer team today, because I expect that my maybe my CEA levels were high and they are looking to see if I have a tumour. I don't know it for sure, and I'm hoping it was just an early opening or something, but I'm patiently waiting here at home for them to get back to me about it.

Honestly, I'm sick of getting bad news. A little bit of good news would be a welcome break. Deep down, I expect the cancer to come back some time in my life....I was just fervently hoping I would have some time before that happened.
