Do the numbers (lab tests) help your pain or improve your stamina or

No they don't but I've got that CEA level so close to normal I hate to
give up just yet. Unlike every doctor I've talked to I still believ in
miracles and that there is a chance I can beat this monster. But if my
marrow gives up I can't fight anymore. As far as pain that has been
relatively low up until now with the neumega shots.. I don't know how
you guys take somethng that I spend a great deal of tie writing and
call one or two sentances. an answer. Is there any way/test to now if
the marrow situation is temporaary or more of a permnant issue. If I
could get this CEA down to 2-2 1/2 for just a couple of months I' feel
comfortable taing a longer break from chemo.
The CEA is pretty irrelevant, Jon
The only practical way to test the marrow is to take more chemo..
my advice would be to think very carefully about what you want chemo to
achieve. Lowering your CEA really isn't a worthwhile goal,
