{{{{Munch}}}} They've gone up before, right? And down again? I don't fully understand what the numbers mean, but I can sure tell you're upset by this news. Our prayers are with you, we're here for you to cry on!

I am agreeing with Aamos here.......you need to help us. We want to know what you are thinking and doing. My first thoughts for you are "Don't panic". I am sure you want positive marker results that are always going down, but as I understand the process, the markers indicate mainly about the response of the body to the treatment and helps the medical people to adjust medications. I am sure you will have more roller coaster results. Your walking is good. Your willingness to share with us is good. I am sure that many of us would be willing to sit on the phone and talk to you anytime Donna. I am going to send you an email that I JUST sent out to a group that I teach at my church that seems to be exactly the area of where you are right now. Know we are praying and know we are willing to do what it takes to help you. Don't be afraid to let us know. Ummm....how WAS the walk? Joey

Thank you for sharing your tears w/ us. Thoughts and prayers are flying your way. Give us all the explanation you can and know that we are looking for each post and with you every step.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. Staying positive and upbeat isn't easy right now, but I'm working on it! 39 and below is considered normal or okay for tumor markers. The Dr. looks at them and my scans to decide how I'm doing. Hopefully next month the markers will be down.
