GREAT NEWS!!!!!!
This morning Elisa got a call from Robyn (one of her Infusion Nurses). The Doctor wanted Robyn to call Elisa right away to give her the news.
For the past week, Elisa has experienced some severe pain in the area of the liver. On 1/3/2012 she met with the Doctor to determine the cause of the pain in the liver. The Doctor ordered another tumor maker blood test to determine if Elisa is responding to treatment. Oncologists use tumor marker tests to monitor cancer and to measure the progress during treatment. If she is responding to the treatment, then the probable cause of pain in the liver is the cancer dying off and slightly irritating the liver.
Tumor Marker baseline level – 16,702 (Nov. 2011)
1/3/12 Tumor Marker test result – 8,473
Elisa is responding to treatment!
