My energy level continued this morning. I played tennis, then made a full breakfast in 15 minutes, did some email communications and left for chemo a little late due to what I got done.
Chemo went fine and Bob and I have been reunited.
The big news of the day is that my CEA level has dropped from 8.5 mcg/L to 4. This is a cancer marker. The nurse practitioner said that the drop is a good indication that the chemo is working.
The normal level is under 2.5. However, for smokers, the normal level is under 5.0. So, if I start smoking, my CEA level will be normal!
I bought a new pro-biotic a few days ago. The research manager was researching this new item this morning and found one rating that indicated it was useful for the reviewer's German Shepherd's stomach problems. Maybe this will arouse animal instincts in me.
Speaking of which, when we met at the clinic this morning, the research manager handed me a blue pill.
Don't get excited, it was a pill that she found on the ground under where she had placed her back pack. We were able to identify the pill as Danazol and someone is going to be a pill short for whatever they are treating.
