Dailrag
We went to the oncologist yesterday. He said "no treatment until after the holidays". He wants to make sure J's blood infections are completely cleared. Apparently whatever it was they extracted from J's pancreas was a complete anomaly. Most docs have rarely to never seen one like it, which makes prescribing treatment difficult, at best. So here we are, in the dark, again, and the discomfort level remains at orange. Not only that but Jordi's tumor markers are "elevated". And I don't know WTF a tumor marker is! So now I will have to go and Google it. The good news is Jordi's appetite has come back, full force, he's even drinking Ensure, which he disliked, at first. As the wise blogger guru says, "one day at a time".

Damn! Just when things get better...boom! Here comes the next thing. Did you find out what "tumor markers" are?
Tumor markers are tumor markers and that about sums up what I got out of what someone told me tumor markers are. It has to do with tumors but there are a lot of variables involved and tumor markers can go up or down, depending on a lot of variables. Variables include lots of different things. So now that I've told you absolutely NOTHING. Do you now understand what a tumor marker is? If you don't then there is something wrong with you. Perhaps you have a tumor marker?!
