Tumor markers

I'm not sure what tumor markers are, but my numbers at first were 23. and now they are 10. Doc. says that means they getting rid of the current cancer. I have 6 more radiation treatments on the lung...then a full body pic to see if anything is lurking.
I find myself in a kinda surreal state in that what is abnormal has become my normal.
There are times that I forget the inevitable outcome of the situation and then all of the sudden I remember.....I have lung cancer that had already spread! Well Kubler-Ross had stages of grief, I think I am wandering between denial and some anger these days. I know I am tired of making other people feel good. "how are you?"
"O, just fine, I'm almost done with my treatments and I am doing well. How are you"
I could say, "well, how the hell do you think I am?"
Sydney has been leaving me out of some of the daily activities. Like I don't get to choose what kind of flowers, etc. for the yard. I'm pissed off at him for that. I called an attorney today. May sue the state of Montana for providing me with cigarettes when I was in the girls reform school in 1952.. We'll see.
