I too admire your spirit, and until reading this did not think of cancer with the small c. I’m only 9 months post BC diagnosis, lumpectomy, 21 days radiation and 6 months AI.
Now that blood test for CA 27.29 came back above 39, I have grown over concerned. I’ll take your advice here and give the docs the best patient I can be. That won’t be easy sometimes, but your positive approach through many changes is so encouraging. Thank you.

Welcome to connect, I am glad you decided to join us. Feel free to wander around and read or join any discussions you feel are relevant to you.
I remember how scary it was the first year after original diagnosis and treatment. I had fluctuating markers up and then down, my doctor told me that he was watching for trends. If it continued to go up and up, then they would start looking. I remember how much anxiety these markers created in me.
Have you discussed this with your doctor?
