Tumor Markers Up

Okay, so my tumor markers are slightly up. I finally convinced my oncologist that the sinusitis is in fact part and parcel of the cancer. He wanted to give me more antibiotics and I flatly refused. My lymphedema is worsening and that's how the cancer initially manifested as a recurrence. I have been dismissed and scoffed at by my other oncologists. Well, no more. They are ordering a head PET scan to rule out cancer activity in my sinuses. Sounds bizarre but I know my body and finally, someone is taking note. Would have been nice if this was addressed two years ago, before my right eyelid started drooping. Now I have this unsightly eye droop. No vanity here but it does bother me. I think it would bother anyone.
