Yes, indeedy! the big $$ question is right.... but I hope my body NED state gives you something to grab onto.

I have been very responsive to the CA27-29 marker and it remains low normal. If it shot up, or I had any other suspicious symptoms, my onc would order more kinds of tests/scans.

I am on Temodar/Xeloda for my brain mets...... hoping for some kind of response. Started my second round today and will have MRI on the 29th to see if this is working or not. I will be glad for any kind of response ie: stable would suit me. I have had severe dizziness 24/7 that began Aug 12. But four days into this chemo combo it lessened a bit. Didn't have the tipping over events anyway. The largest met at moment is on pons/brainstem. Very worrisome to say the least.

I was also given something to help with the dizziness and it also seems to be doing a good job. Just must still be aware of what I'm doing/moving etc.

Thank you for asking xoxoxpatty
