I couldn't believe the results of today's CA 27-29.
I was originally diagnosed with liver and bone mets in 2/04. Underwent treatment with Herceptin/Navelbine/Xeloda until end of Feb. of 05.
At that point, I was just chemo weary, and needed a break. for the past 3 months I have been on Herceptin only, and trying some dietary changes and supplements.
The worry was that my tumor markers and liver enzymes would start to creep up, necessitating a return to chemo.
Well, my latest blood test showed all my liver enzymes as normal, and my CA 27-29 for the first time in the 18 months post stage 4 diagnosis was in the normal range. It was 32!!!
Wow! I didn't know that was possible, to continue to improve while on Herceptin only.
For now, I'm going to continue everything the same, and hope this lasts....
