We heard from Rob's surgeon this afternoon. It turns out there were actually TWO bloodtest results that were high. The one I spoke of that was over double the high normal, and another, that was 298 (normal range 0-44).
Rob's surgeon (Dr. J) is concerned, and asked us to move the December CT up to next week. However, we are seeing Rob's eye doctor on Monday, and are keeping Tuesday open for possible eye surgery to reattach his retina.
His surgeon said two weeks would be okay, but no later. So Rob's CT of his pelvis/abdomen is on Monday, November 18th. We'll follow up with Dr. J on Tuesday, November 26th. Rob pushed him for what it could mean, and yes, the concern is that it could be the cancer back.
But I'm not going there yet.
Not today or tomorrow.
Not until I hear different.
We are just wanting to stay on top of things. And we thoroughly and completely trust and respect Dr. J. He is kind, and caring, and knows what he's doing. So we will wait. And pray. A lot.
Rob has had a "dry-pulling" pain in his eye most of the day, still feeling like a stick is in there. He's also had a low-grade headache in his "brow" area. He slept a lot throughout the day, and didn't do much of anything per doctor's orders. :)
I'm a bit out of sorts today, not feeling the best, and I need to get some sleep... So I will bid you a blessed evening, sweet dreams, quiet slumber, and my grateful heart.
In Love and In Peace,
Cheri ♥
