I have news from my first three-month visit with my medical oncologist!!! The blood tests done yesterday indicate there is no cancer activity going on in my body. As best as I understand, these tests show the level of certain proteins (a.k.a tumor markers) in the blood. When there is an active tumor in the body, the tumor marker level elevates above normal; whereas a decreased tumor marker level indicates no cancer activity is likely. Since last August, my tumor markers have been steadily decreasing – which means today’s visit was a RELIEF!!!
