It's down! Again!!
There is a relatively reliable blood "marker" for my sort of cancer, called the CEA number. Yours is probably in single digits, whereas mine is currently measured in the hundreds...
Back at Christmas, it was roughly 200 - and it is again! In between times it hit 500+ just as I started therapy; in other words my treatment is continuing to have the desired effect: at the time of my last scan (the one that showed things were stable/improving) it was 300+, and the weekly trend continues to be down, down, down.
All we need now is the next scan (w/c 27th May) to confirm all is going the right way, and that will make all the side effects really worth tolerating!
