I was informed that my tumor marker has risen to 2849, so, with that in mind, I am patiently waiting for the CT scan which will take place on May 22. This will tell the true situation with the tumor sizes. This is what they write on the test results: Test results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence for the presence or absence of malignant disease. Serum markers are not specific for malignancy and values may vary by method.
Values obtained with different assay methods or kits may be different and cannot be used interchangeably.
Meanwhile, I am having very good quality of life, so much so that I am looking for trips to Colombia on the internet which may or may not take place, depending on what shows up on the CT scan and how I am feeling. The trip itself is very tiring even in wheel chairs:):):)Since I had the tube removed and replaced with the permanent internal metal stent I am healing very well and will be able to go swimming soon. It is a miracle again in my mind that such things can take place. I have no pain or discomfort. I do have neuropathy in my feet which makes my feet and toes numb. And, I also have a little memory loss that may come with age or with chemo brain:)
I am conscientiously taking my chemo pills twice a day as we wait to see how they may or may not be working.
Today is Mother's Day, a day to celebrate "mothers". I know so many "mothers" in my life who are examples of caring and loving people, who surround me and their own families with constant security, who are put there by the Lord. I am thankful this day for them.
I am also thankful for my husband who made me a mother and now a grandmother💗
This song was recorded many years ago at Peakland Baptist Church with Carlease Burnette playing piano for me. Thought it was appropriate for Mother's Day. Actually, I posted it last Mother's Day too:):):)
