That is exactly what I did when I was at the hospital this afternoon visitng my friend, Dawn, who just had a radical (double) mastectomy like me. I got the call when I was in her room that my tumor marker points went up another 6 points. I'm now at 20.7. Normal ranges from 1-35. They have gone up now 12 points total in the last year which has me concerned. If the cancer is back, I'll get thru it. I just need prayer right now and lots of it! Waiting to hear back from the doctor to see what the next steps are. I'm already stressed enough with everything else and this is just another burden but I'm going to remain positive and if cancer is back I'm going to kick its butt again! I won't lie, I'm scared, very scared and am trying to hold it together today. So, just asking for prayers as God is the one who got me thru it the first time and He'll get me thru it again, if it is back.

Update: Just got a call from the doctor. He did not seem majorly concerned but wants me to come back in 3 months instead of 6 to check the levels again. If they rise again by then, then more testing will be required so for now, I'm pushing it out of my mind, going to work on doing all the right things and keep on praying. So, at this point, we are just watching things. All I know is I don't want to go thru the treatment again and thanks in advance for all the prayers and well wishes from everyone in advance!
