The plateau?

My latest CEA data point confirms our suspicions from last cycle, that the previously reducing level may have "plateaued." Certainly the rapid reduction seen in the first two cycles is no longer apparent.

What these data suggest is that there may not be a continuing benefit from further chemotherapy.
However, in consultation with the hospital oncologist, we made a decision today to continue with cycle 6 but to delay this by one week to allow my bowel to fully recover. This means I have another drug-free week to enjoy!

    I think a good plan. Lull the cancer into a false sense of security then after a week pounce! Won't know what hit it. Seems a cunning plan. Hope you have a restful week and be ready to fight the good fight next week.
