Enough with the doom and gloom

My last post was pretty down. To be frank, I do not have a whole bunch of good news to report. I had blood work last week, and went in yesterday to get the results. So far they are inconclusive. We just need to observe my CEA and CA19-9 for another moth to see if they start to recede. So if you do the math, that means I'll find out just before Thanksgiving. Its not all bad however. If you read all of my last post, you will notice that weight loss was a huge issue. I left the hospital at around 210, and was down to 170 at my lowest (in about a month). I am happy to report that I am back up to 190! I still need to gain another 10 or 15 in my opinion. I'm also dealing with a ton of pain. It's to the point where I'm going to have to talk with the surgeon again. I'm praying that I do not need another operation. We're not talking about removing a tumor, more like cleaning up scar tissue... But I'm stuck in a bit of a dilemma. It's either more drugs, more scans, or more scars. I would prefer to none of the above! Anyway, short and sweet on this update. I guess expect something around thanksgiving. Adiós
