Re: Prayers requested
I have wonderful news for you! I will NOT become one of your stageIV sisters, FullofBeans! At least not just now.
My CA 15-3 markers were the lowest they have been at 15.5 and nothing lit up on the PET. My onc wants to keep a close watch and rescan in 2 months, but I feel that is overkill.
I cannot begin to tell you all how much each of you mean to me. I knew I could get support, advise, and love from you'll (I am from the south), but I did not know how much and how much it would mean to me.
Everyone keeps saying how wonderful this board is and I always thought so, but now I know so. Please have a Merry Chistmas. I know I will.
Love,
Sandra
