This past Wednesday, I completed my eighth cycle of chemotherapy and little seems to have changed. My last CA19-9 level, taken two weeks earlier, was still low -- 19, up an insignificant amount from the all-time low of 16. I continue to deal with and manage the side effects of the therapy, and the most significant continue to be fatigue and related symptoms; occasional elevated blood pressure has also caused some concern. Everything else is somewhat "normal," and it's likely that my disease continues to be stable. I'll know more in two weeks after another CT scan and an appointment with my doctor. Until then . . .
Peace,
Don
