.. and we still have the same conundrum - all factors tested show that Husband is perfectly healthy... but the CEA has gone UP again, from 338 (2 weeks ago), to 580 now. Yes, it still worries us, but as long as the "disease weight" in the body (lovely turn of phrase there!!) is so light, at least according to the oncologists, then he is still doing well, and everything is stable.
And, yes, it is TWO oncologists who have told us the same thing, especially after they reviewed the CT Scans.
I guess it is some relief to us, but, of course, psychologically, as long as the CEA keeps going up, we will still worry.
The drive to Melaka and back (2 hours each way), and the 2 hours of SITTING for the chemo, have totally numbed Husband's bum (another nice phrase - a numb bum!), and he is lying down and trying to recover and get over the pain... which is quite excruciating. The new pain killers DO help, but cannot take away the pain even under normal circumstances, let alone after sitting for so many hours.
Nothing else exciting to report... as always keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers that the cancer will either completely be eradicated, or at least will stay as stable as it is now.
Till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY!

After reading your usual closing in the blog I remembered what a famous physician once remarked.. "Not sickness but health, is the greatest of all medical mysteries."
'Everyday ur body is assailed by billions of germs, many of which can produce illness or even death. Yet you stay well.
Countless bacteria & viruses gain entry into ur body with the food u eat or the air u breathe or thru breaks in ur skin.
Yet you stay well.
Some of them establish permanent residence in ur mouth, ur nose and throat, or ur intestines, where they may multiply fantastically.
Yet you stay well !'
If those aren't miracles, I don't know what else could be. Actually I do know.. and am praying for one for Ken & u.
