119. Chemo Recent CEA Level Update

Thank You to all the people who have been wishing me well these last few days!  I appreciate it very much!  It is heartwarming to know that you are in my corner!  Yes the fact that my CEA level rose last Monday has me worried and wonder why of course.  However, I totally forgot that I had both a flu and a Covid vaccination 10 days prior to having the bloodwork done.  That may have something to do with it.  Also inflammation may play a role and I have been having a dull ache in the location where the Nanoknife surgery was performed.  I do not think that the site is infected but there is a good possibility that it may be a bit inflamed.  I have been eating some ginger slices and drinking golden milk (turmeric).  This seems to be helping. 😷

I am scheduled for a 1 year follow-up colonoscopy this coming Monday.  So I have to go on the low fiber diet tomorrow and Sunday and drink the lovely "potion".  Yikes!    I'll be back after that.  Keep well!!  SanTeh!  Oh, and Happy Halloween! 🎃
