Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I really felt the need to post today because I am just down...no real reason, just down. While most of my posts have been good news, and I am so very grateful, I have been anxious and yes, so worried about Bert's CEA. 9.0 is just not a number that I can easily get out of my head. While all medical tests possible over and over again indicate NED, that CEA is driving me nuts. While I realize it's just one element of the whole picture, I can't help but remember someone's story on this board that their CEA was rising steadily for two to three years without anything and then they finally found the tumor growing in some remote spot not picked up by any CT or PET or anything. I've got to stop thinking like this because, quite honestly, it's driving me nuts. I'll be better tomorrow but in the meantime, thanks for listening. I needed to put my thoughts in writing and it has helped a little bit. Hugs, Monika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Monika, Feel free to vent at will. I certainly get down and frustrated and angry, etc. As hard as it is to do, don't anticipate trouble. Unless and until you hear that there is evidence of disease, live as though Bert is free of it.
