oh Marybe, mine are at 777 from 5 something, last time didn't ask! Maybe I will next appt but I'm just not going to let it get me down. I'm pretty good (or was) at getting all my records, but I swear in the past few months I just blew it off. I'm feeling pretty good right now and I don't want to be stressed at the moment.
I'm sure eventually I will get back to my anal self but really I'm just so having a good time at the moment. I'm pretty sure it's the beautiful weather we are finally having! I'm so glad your TM's are going down! Those little sucker cancer cells, death to em all I say! I think those 2 beers I had are affecting me 0 -
Just wanted to let you all know that they are still going down!!! CA 27.29 done from blood drawn last Thurs. 6/21 came back 528.9!!! Not the 1000 drop I have been getting, but we are getting closer and closer to normal range so I knew things would slow down.....like when you are on a diet and it takes you forever to get to goal those last few months.
Bobkat, I pray that you are doing well. I feel bad posting my good news when you are worrying about yours going up. But there is always hope....once they find the right treatment, they will get things turned around for you. It took a long time for them to find the right chemo for me and for over two years all I did was watch the numbers go up.

Marybe, I am encouraged by your reports. Still looking for the right treatment for me--hopefully, soon.

That's great! I hope it just keeps going down!

325.8!!!! Am happy about this, but worried I am not going to be able to stay on the Adriamycin since when they did my echo last week they found my EF was down to between 45-50. Had been 70 when we started and then 60 the last time they checked. Onco out of town, but they called him and he said to put treatments on hold until I see a cardiologist. My appt with her is tomorrow.

Awesome, Marybe! I hope all goes well with the cardio appointment tomorrow.

Marybe!!! Fantastic! Good luck with the cardiologist. Those numbers are heading straight for normal range...

My tm went from 200 to 468 that is when dr put me on xeloda have been on it since March and tm is now at 38 my Dr said wouldnt do scans
unless marker starts to go up he believes X is working
0 -
Twinsmom....I also believe you have every reason to believe the Xeloda is working. We just need to do scans to see if my liver has improved any and also to find out where we are since I may have to quit the adriamycin.

Great news about the Tumor markers. Good Luck with the Echo. We are all routing for you. Thanks for sharing your story and giving us all hope!

Hoping the appt with the cardio goes well. I am sorry you may have to quit the adriamycin. It has done so well for you. Please keep us posted.

I might get to stay on it....at least for another month. They checked my oxygen level with that little deal they put on your finger and it was good and my heart sounds fine and the cardiologist says she really questions the echo and says if in truth it is between 45 and 50, she feels it is closer to the 50 end. So what she is suggesting since she knows I want to stay on this chemo is that we give it another month, she gave me two Rxs for meds that she said people will tell me are for high BP which for sure I do not have, but will help my heart pump and then she wants to see me in one month and scheduled another echo right before she sees me. If the EF has gone down at all she says then we will know it is time to quit the Adriamycin. She was going to go over all this with my onco, but I told her he is out of town and to talk to the PA, Amanda and she will call him like she did last week. So with any luck at all, I will get my treatment tomorrow when I have my appointment. I am just so glad they got me in quickly and if I do get to have treatment tomorrow, I will have only missed one. Who knows maybe they will decided to give me an even lower dose which would be ok, I just don't want to quit it now altogether since it has been working so well and I swear I do not feel any different than I did a few months ago...no shortness of breath or anything. So we shall see. As always thanks for the good wishes, pats on the back, hugs and prayers.

Everything went fine and I got my Adrimycin.....they probably think I am nuts there. I was passing out the cookies I made to patients and they would ask Did you make these?....like I would buy Keibler cookies and put them in a tupperward dish? Not what I said of course....said Yes, I made them this morning. We are celebrating me getting chemo.
The PA whom I had not seen for two weeks is really excited about my tumor markers. I bet my onco will be happy when he gets back also.
The nurses requested peanut butter next time, but I am going to another office on Monday for treatment....one of theirs, but they didn't have any openings any other day and I am off on Moday so that works.

Sounds good, Marybe!! Hope you will be able to stay on it for a long time.

How cute is it that you made cookies to celebrate your getting chemo!!!!!????

Iwillwin.....I take baked goods in all the time....think I get better treatment and they remember me if I feed them, plus I love to bake. Get pretty upset at times when they fail to call me with test results and also when they ignore me in the treatment room and do not make eye contact and I am not even accessed, but I don't stay mad for long and the next thing you know the mixer is going and I am whipping up a batch of something or cutting the parchment paper to fit the cake pans. It is excellent therapy.
