My blood test was NORMAL!  YEAH!!!!! 6 months of NO tests!!!!!!!

Weight Watchers up .6  :(

Did receive a charm.....I'll explain later about that.   

Thankful Thursday

Kids and water....................

I love watching kids jump in water~

calling doc's office tomorrow to get my blood test results explained to me

the 2 test for tumor markers i'm able to view on-line are

CEA- Carcinoembryonic Antigen

range: 0-5.0 ng (i believe is normal range)

here's my history

2/2010- 0.6 ng

5/2010- 1.6 ng

1/2011- 1.0 ng

7/2011- 0.9 ng  

2nd one is

CA 15-3 Cancer Antigen 15-3

range: 0-36 units (i believe normal range)

here's my history

2/2010- 6 units 

5/2010- 4 units 

1/2011- no measurable units (not sure what that means)

7/2011- 8 units

I have no idea what this really all means - but it is nice to be able to view it I think.  When I talk to someone tomorrow I'll ask what exactly it means- I'm pretty sure I'm in the normal range.  I just wonder if it's OK for the numbers to go up.  Not sure if it really matters because this is just a tool it's not really that simple.  This test won't tell if I have early stage cancer, but it may hint that a tumor is active.

Weighed in with my trainer tonight and no weight change- but I did lose an inch my back..lol....well my measurement around my bust.  We know my bust has gotten smaller so she insists my back has gotten better.  Also lost an inch in my waist.  It can be very discouraging and I swear my tamoxifen is making it so hard to lose and I didn't take it for a few days just to see and I think I feel better - not so full around my middle and I don't feel so old when I work out- BUT the guilt and worry of not taking it is not good. 

 I'm back on it :(

Sometimes I think if I could finally cut out all bad food and only eat good organic food with no meat I would feel more confident to not take my tamoxifen.  I'm feeling more confident about my body being able to fight off cancer cells.  I know tamoxifen increases my odds of survival by 10% so I better just keep on.  :)       

I learned some new cardio tips so that may help fight my tamoxifen.

Veggie Wedgie Wednesday

What to do with all the ZUCCHINI popping up?

ZUCCHINI FRIES

 As long as you get your little assembly line set up, breading and baking zucchini isn't so bad at all.

All  you need is Egg Whites, Flour, Bread crumbs, Italian Seasoning and Spray Oil.

This recipe is from Weight Watchers

See it here:

You can make some changes to this recipe for your family- craving more flavor- add Parmesan cheese- dip them in sauce- YUMMY! 

Enjoying my flowers.....it's been a tough summer on these little guys with the heat and not a lot of water.

Weighing in tonight- not too excited as I think I've stayed the same!  I get so disgusted at the gym sometimes and my trainer says, "It's dietary momentum".  I'm hoping so!  Just started back on my normal routine with some added cardio..................my house work is slacking because of my extra trips to the gym.  YIKES

   

Good-BLU to You

The love affair is officially over.......good night Smurfette
