Cancer redux

Went to the doctor last week expecting to be told my numbers were relatively stable. No such luck. My CA12 was way up, 258, the highest its been since before I had surgery and chemo. Not a good sign. Sent for emergency CT scan which was clear thus far, unremarkable. Which was good news. So, after discussing all options, I'm now on tamoxifin to see if we can slow the sucker down, give me more time off chemo until at least August when my son leaves for college. Not fun, very discouraging. I feel as though I've done everything right, taken all the meds, all the chemo and so on. Maybe I'm just too healthy, and cells are replicating so fast? Who knows. Possibly a clinical trial in my future, Parp inhibitors? Vaccine? Who knows.
