    Back from my F/U from my onc.  Although she is not too concerned and wants to see me in 4 months to repeat blood work.

    My Vit D is 25.5 which is low, normal rangs is 30-100 ng/ml

    CEA test is 1.4, normal range is <3.0

    CA 15-3 is 30.3, normal range is 0-31.3

    and here is the scary one: CA 27.29 test is 45.9, normal is 0.0-38.6 Surprised

    She said that she is not concerned because my other tests are in the normal range.  So I have to do it again in March.

    Don't forget to make the appointments Deb.  You have to stay on top of it!

    Neither nooner or exercise.  My hip is still out of wack so I am taking it easy.  DH and I went out to lunch.  Wake at 4 and then soccer banquet at 6.  Busy day.  Brownies are in the oven.

    She already scheduled me for March 4th, I will have the blood work repeated a week before towards the end of February.  I called my PCP to have my Alprazolam renewed as it has expired.  Shows how often I use them but I sure need the script now.  

    I feel like a baby, when I called my PCP's office to have this renewed, I explained everythng to her then I totally started crying, so bad I could not even talk, they were so nice, I kept apologizing between my sobs and she just said take a deep breath, that is what we are here for.  So I will be picking up my script later on today.  I already took one half so I will not take the other half until bedtime.  I just can't believe how your emotions can control you no matter how hard I tried to stop crying and gain control the worse it got.Embarassed

    Deborye - I'm not going to say don't worry, because I am incapable of not worrying.  But do enjoy your Alprazolam and don't skip it if you need it.  Anything to take the edge off.  I am just sorry that you have something to worry about right now - but then isn't that how the rest of our lives will be?

    Damn it!

    I have total confidence in my Onc. I love her, she is so smart.  If she is not too concerned then I should not be.  I just have to stop letting my thoughts run a muck.

    I am going to speak to my PCP again about my bum issues, LOL.  They think it's a hemorrhoid.  I was complaining of bleeding if I strained so when she checked me out she could see a small one.  Let's pray that is just what it is.  I have colorectal cancer on the brain right now.

    Deb....I'm not gonna say don't worry be happy either.

    I was thinking about something.

    Did you ever have a Tumor Marker test before like after DX and after treatment?

    I know that someone in our thread mentioned her normal was 12 something.

    Mine always was between 26-27 at least the last 2 years that I know of.

    Maybe that is your normal, maybe it was like that from the beginning.

    Again I understand your anxiety perfectly.

    If I can do anything to ease your fear I'm here for you.

    We all are

    I love you♥

    Hugs and hugs

    The only test I had was the CEA test that was done before tx and that was 1.3, this time the CEA test was 1.4 which is still normal.  I never had any of the other tests done.  

    I am forcing myself not to worry.

    I was trying to find the info I posted on the other thread about what else can increase the numbers. If i remember correctly even if you had a cold it will increased them.

    Again I will try to find that post for you.

    Try not to worry Deb.  I know, easier said than done.  Maybe your donating blood messed the numbers up. XOXO

    Sheila - just today I told a friend I didn't know what normal was anymore.    I am probably pretending too :)

    Sounds yummy!

    I am back home from the funeral.  What a sad day.  She was just so young.

    I hope you all had a nice day.

    Linda - what I always find so disconcerting is that there is this terrible sadness in the life of a family and yet the life and the world goes on....

    Banana cream pie had to get changed to Kentucky Derby pie because host is from Kentucky and a friend said he hasn't had one in a few years.  It is easy enough, basically pecan pie with chocolate.

    Having a nice mellow day....

    Pie sounds yummy, I have never heard of it.  Pecan pie is my favorite...so why not add chocolate.

    I am cooking salmon too.  Kids are off to skating in a bit.  I just want to chill out.

    Basically you are right, pecan pie with bourbon and chocolate.  Are they skating outside?  That would be so fun to do again.  I want to chill too, but we have this engagement dinner.

    How do you make your salmon?

    I have a question, when I click on someone's picture, it doesn't get large so that I can actually see it, is there a trick for this?

    No.

    You can only do that on FB.

    Thanks for doing it overnight after all it's considered an emergency package.
