25 January 2010 - I had a check-up done by my oncologist.
As usual, he did a physical check and asked if I felt any pain or breathlessness, to which I replied that I had none.
He commented that my blood test results were okay.
He surprised me by not mentioning chemo or hormone therapy for the lumps this time round, probably he was aware that I would not agree to either if my blood test results were okay. My next appointment is 3 months' time in April.
My cancer marker for CA153 is now 13.3. I was pleasantly surprised as this is the first time in so many months that it had actually gone down, albeit by 0.6 from Nov 2009. It had been steadily climbing since Jan 2009.
With the appearance of lumps in recent months (7 now), and although I had felt fine, I was kind of prepared and expecting to see the marker inching up again.
