Bump I am so so sorry hun. What heartbreaking news
Shellie, fx'd for you hun! When are you testing again?
Bailey, good news on the venue! So happy for you hun, a bubba and a wedding! Busy year for you!
MrsDuck, the markers they test for are tumor/cancer specific. Here is a quote from a website I just googled. Not sure if it applies, as I said I was stateside when I went through this all with my mum but I do know I had my blood checked for tumor markers here in the UK about 6 months ago when I had a strange infection in my foot.
"Tumor markers are substances that can be found in the body (usually in the blood or urine) when cancer is present. Along with other tests, tumor markers can be used to help show if cancer is present, to determine the type of cancer, and in some cases to help show if treatment is working."

On the positive news front, I have an either positive or almost positive OPK today. And I finally got my business website up and running today (even though it still needs a lot of work, it has been on my list of things to do FOREVER) as one of my clients is going to start circulating my cover letter to his clients. Fx'd it means more work coming my way, cause we could use the money to cover all the moving costs!
