August 14, 2021 – Test Upate

Published by at 12:36 pm under Uncategorized

This week 8-12-21 my blood work was in the normal range for white and red blood count to get my normal dose of Paxol. That was the only drug for this week. Each month my Dr. has been checking something called “Cancer Antigen” in my blood work.

Here is the chart:

Cancer Antigen

Here are some comments about the numbers based on what was going on.

  1. Spring of 2020 had strange body aches on and off. Felt very off.
  2. Had CT/PET Scan beginning of June 2020
  3. Had Pelvis Bone Biopsy June 19, 2020 – positive for Breast cancer cells.
  4. Started Ibrance Pills and Fluvestrant Shots Beginning of August 2020.
  5. Only had 3 does of Shots due to side effects.
  6. Stayed on Ibrance and another estrogren blocker exemestane until about May 2021
  7. CT/PET were looking good
  8. In may 2021 Started feeling extremely fatigued and just yucky.
  9. Did another CT Scan and found Spread to Organs (Liver and Lung) from Bone.
  10. Started Drip Chemo in immunotherapy July 15, 2021.
  11. This last chemo started feeling better and side effects are less.
  12. On the Chart 5-13-20 is 60.3 and it is cut off.

So based on my current chemo my numbers have come down. The info came to my account yesterday. The Dr. told me it may not be in until late next week and he also said the numbers may shoot higher before showing a lower number. Well it is great the numbers are actually showing progress within 30 days.

So you can see the numbers and they match what was going on. The cancer mutated sometime in April or May of 2021 and was no longer being successfully treated by my Ibrance treatment.
