124. Chemo 2 Outa 3 Aint Bad (Thanks Meat Loaf!)

3 results are in: from the colonoscopy, the cardiologist and my bloodwork.

I happened upon the report of the colonoscopy biopsy on-line mixed in with my bloodwork results.  The tiny polyps that were removed and sent for biopsy were "unremarkable", i.o.w. not malignant.  (This needs to be yet confirmed by the surgeon though!) Hurrah! Yes!

I also had a chat with the cardiologist about February when I ended up in hospital with a-fib and was told that I was heading for heart failure.  Turned out that "an error was made" and that my heart is just fine, and that I'll be just fine, providing I keep taking the prescribed meds.  Hurrah! Yes!!

The CEA level in my bloodwork has increased for the third time in a row.  That is not good news.  Either the Nanoknife surgery failed, the liver cancer is not gone and is growing, or, my recent Covid vaccination plays a role in the increase.  Fingers crossed it is the latter.  I won't know till I have the CT scan next month.  It continues to be a waiting game.  Not so hurrah!

Back in a couple of days with my take on longevity.  I'm not so much into football, but wasn't that a really great Grey Cup game on the weekend?  Too bad the Roughriders weren't in it.  Tomorrow Canada competes against Belgium in a soccer game.  We may just watch a bit of that also.  Keep well! SanTeh!
