Appointment with onco - only managed to see the junior doctor.
Blood test ok, CA 153 is 12 - which is my lowest since the relapse.
A couple of weeks ago, I had noticed a pea-like lump on the side of my ribcage facing the inside of my right upper arm. I mentioned this to the doc and he said that it may or may not be cancerous. Told to observe if there are any changes or any new lumps appearing. Other than that everything else is ok.
16 Mar 2009 - checkup
Managed to see my onco.
White blood cell count is low. CA 153 is 12.9 (up a little - but still no cause for concern)
I mentioned the lump again and since there were no changes since then, we assumed that it is probably just a cyst.
I noticed that my onco is now much more compromising. She offerred to print an extra set of reports for me on my next visit which will be on 22 Jun 2009.
I am supposed to have a ct scan every 6 months, but since my onco didn't arrange for one, I am fine with it. I don't think I need it nor want it, especially after reading the article by Dr Ang PT in 'Mind Your Body' about the contrast causing blindness.
