Such a big relief today! My dad’s CA 19-9 dropped from 150 to 47 after the 1 week of Oral TS-1. The pain has not all gone away, but has subsided significantly compared to before the chemo. So we hope it’s the chemo is working and shrinking the tumors.
We are waiting at the hospital for another 2 week prescription of TS-1, and also will be meeting the anesthesiologist to see what pain management option we have.
I can tell that my dad’s relieved and hopefully his mood picks up from here, I can’t say it enough that positive attitude is crucial. Thanks for all the support!
