Mixed results

So I had my appointment with Dr. Esplin a week ago.  I got my 2 shots of Faslodex in my rear/lower back. Man that smarts!
Then he switched me from Zoladex( the shot for menopause) to Lupron. Lupron also is given in my rear, but now I only have to do that every 3 months.
I also got my month's supply of Affinitor.
On Wednesday, my tumor markers came in.  In breast cancer, they are looking at tumor markers CA27.9 and CA15.3.  Tumor markers aren't totally reliable, but so far they've done pretty well at letting us know what's going on in me. 
Ever since the beginning, my tumor markers have been going up and up and up.  This time the CA27.9 came down from 701.2 to 658! That's the first time something positive has come back!
However, the CA15.3 went from 492 to 537.9.  So the results are mixed. 
It is true, that when a tumor is dying, it breaks down into your blood stream and sometimes they can go up.  That's why he doesn't rely too much on them.

I am scheduled for a CT/ bone scan on Sept. 30th. I hope it gives us  a good look at what's going on and most especially, I hope it's positive information.

I also met a gal that lives nearby who was diagnosed 4 years ago. She invited 2 others that are 3 and 4 years into this. I asked questions and listened.  It was a weird feeling, just sitting with these strangers, yet there's so much understanding there.  I didn't want to be there cause I didn't want to be in this "club."  I don't know how long it will take me to accept my new life and what's to come because of it. I just know I'm not there  yet.
