Well, I Was Able To Get My Weekly Chemo Because My Liver Enzymes Were Back To Normal. I Used The Imformation Yall Gave And I Believed It Worked, Thanks Alot. Now It Seems My Ca 2729 Is Bouncing Around. It Has Never Gotten To Normal Yet. In June It Was 42 Then In July 52 In August He Took It Two Times First It Was 46 Now My Onc Called And Said It Went Up To 51. Oh My Gosh, I Am So Discouraged. I Have Been On Chemo For 32wks. And I Am Tired And Was Hoping To Get To Normal So I Could Get Off Chemo For Just Alittle While. I Just Dont Beleive I Will Ever Get To Ned. I Want To So Bad. I Guess Bone Mets Are Harder To Fight. I Was Wondering If I Should Ask My Onc If We Should Use A Different Type Of Chemo. This One Is Tolerable For Me But If It Is Not Working Anymore . I Mean My Mets Has Not Spread I Just Cant Get My Ca Number Normal.any Suggestions For A Weary Her2 Warrior. Should I Put Such Importance On These Numbers. Dorinda
