Latest CEA

My latest CEA measurement delivered a pleasant surprise. At 8.7 ng/ml, this is the lowest reading in nearly a year and a clear indication that the level of disease has plateaued, albeit under chemotherapy.

This latest blood test brings an end to cycle 6. Now my chemotherapy course comes to an end as I prepare for surgery in Sydney. My next task is to increase my body mass, and to build up muscle strength. I am exercising by walking and, when the Welington weather is too unpleasant, by means of an exercycle at home.
