WHOO HOO!!

Finally got some good news.

As you may remember from last week's episode, alright, the episode from a couple of days ago, I had my blood taken for tumor marker tests. Well, I got the results back today and everything is normal. I was kind of expecting they would be, but it's always a relief to actually get the news. For those who are interested, here they are:

CEA -> 2.3 (range is between 0.0 and 2.5)
CA 19-9 -> 12 (range is between 0 and 37)

I'll look up the results of past tests so you can see the differenes of before my surgery and after. I'll post them here on the blog and let you know when they are up.

For those who have to have this done regularly, you know what it is like waiting to hear the results. For those who have never had to go through this, just imagine every three months or so, waiting to find out if you have cancer again or not.

For now, I am off the hook for another 3 months, when I will get another tumor marker test and a CT scan.

Oh, and for those who were wondering, my bilirubin total was 0.85. (No, I don't know what that is, but it must be important or they wouldn't have tested for it. Right?)

Well, that's all the news that's fit to print. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
