Mark went in for pre-op tests today at the hospital. He had blood work and an EKG done which are to be sent to Pittsburgh. The CEA marker has really shot up and is 56. I guess that should be expected with all the weeks he's been off the chemo. The EKG showed some ischemia in a few leads, so now we will have to see the cardiologist for clearance before surgery. The EKG is clearly different from his 2008 one.
Mark doesn't have good endurance, but mostly we've attributed it to the chemo and I'm sure that is it. I hope the EKG thing is just poor lead placement and nothing more serious.
Please keep him in your prayers as always. God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
