Hi Tom,

Sorry I neglected to say I am ER POS NOT SURE ABOUT THE PR, Have been on Tamoxfin for 1 1/2 years and Arimdex for five years. And also had a radio freqency ablation on one of the larger tumors in my liver. I guess the good thing through out this whole ordeal is that my liver functions have always been normal and I have no pain or signs what so ever that I have cancer in my liver, very scary! I have never had a biopsy of my liver tumors either. I see my doctor again on November 21st I hope and pray my markers go down or at least level off. But I have to admit 265 is too high for me. Through out the whole horrible ordeal this is the second highest reading I have ever had. The first being when I found out I was stage IV. I just don't know what to think I am very scared and confused. Thank you so much for your input i truely appreciate it.
