Me, that does not worry until a brick wall falls on me, would be freaked out about the mention of "is your oncologist following you" if I had your past history of 2 rare cancers.

I count my blessings that I have all sorts of "chronic" illnesses that kill you very slowly over LONG time frames, or have no fatality involvement at all, just pain. Maybe that is why I don't worry so much about the illness as I do about the "treatments and testing" for various conditions.

Inflammatory markers does NOT necessarily take you down the road of looking for cancer. All sorts of benign things will cause inflammation in the body and possibly show in blood work.

When you have diabetes, you can have all sorts of lab values affected.

Hope your next labs will be less concerning to you.

Hope
