I wouldn't want you to lose 4 months of a wonderful, happy summer worrying about something that is not even there. You know how our lives can change in a minute so don't waste any of your minutes Tracey...enjoy all the love in your life, your family, friends and good times. Enjoy today, the hour and the minute......let all this worry go and when you have your check up in 4 months you will find all will be well and you will be so grateful for the past few months which you filled with fun, laughter and love.....you can e-mail me anytime sweetie if you just want to talk and in the meantime I will check in with you just so you know you have soeone who cares for you on the other side of the pond....:-)HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-67411469902364089502010-04-21T20:30:31.728+01:002010-04-21T20:30:31.728+01:00Oh Tracey, I get it.

But I have to admit, it worries me.<br /><br />My doc asked me if I wanted to know my CA-125 number each check up (warning me it will fluctuate) or whether he would only tell me when it concerned him. I've decided to go that route. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but that's what I'm doing for now.<br /><br />And yes, I agree with the postings of others, your docs would have you in far earlier if they were concerned. Stay as positive as you can.<br /><br />TinaTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997852184343437388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-86389120874995052952010-04-21T09:35:03.443+01:002010-04-21T09:35:03.443+01:00Saying don't worry doesn't quite cut it do...Saying don't worry doesn't quite cut it does it - but try not too.

I know that's not very reasurring when it's going in the other direction, but you've got to remember that 14 is still less than halfway to the maximum normal level of 35.<br /><br />Mine only dropped to 10 after 3 years of being measured, before that it was always in the mid-upper teens which was deemed completely normal. I know it's just the shock of having it rise though, no matter what it goes up to. Plus when you've been feeling a bit off it makes you worry even more.<br /><br />Dave is right that they'd have you back in sooner if they were really worried though, and more importantly they'd send you straight off for a scan which they're not doing.<br /><br />I know it's incredibly hard but try not to worry too much. You'll be absolutely fine, I'm sure of it.<br /><br />Hugs a'plenty hun<br />xxxEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834426969629599108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-91756247184864367122010-04-20T18:04:58.591+01:002010-04-20T18:04:58.591+01:00and you will have all my support too - BUT it'...and you will have all my support too - BUT it's <b>NOT going to return!</b> You will be too busy doing fund raising for my cycle kenya thing for it to catch you anyway ;o)<br /><br />I'd try to get the checkup moved to 3 months though.
