Re: Ca27.29#s and NED at stage IV

Thanks ladies- I guess I was hoping that there were some out there like me. My tumor marker is in a semi-stable or very gradual rise, sitting right around 120. I read way too much into that damn number, I feel great! I go jogging, I sew, I cook, I have a totally normal life (despite taking ibuprofen due to femara aches and pains)- why am I so obsessed with seeing that number drop. Sometimes I wish he wouldn't tell me what that God-damned number is.
Thanks Ladies.
