There has been some progression in my cancer, and after my last break, my CEA numbers shot up. I'm back on hardcore chemo now, so my numbers have dropped some, but they are still high. No new tumours or anything, but it has me worried.

I was recently hospitalized (check Atheist and Agnostic forum for better update) and was forced to take a break from chemo so I'm extremely worried about my next scan. I had a scan at the hospital but it wasnt a full one.
