ca125

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know my ca125 is dropping. It is now at 67, Praise The Lord! I have had only 5 days of topotecan so far. I was scheduled to recieve another round this week but my White Counts are not coming back very good, they are 1.6 as of yesterday so my next treatment was postponed a week. My hair is already falling out and I think I'll shave my head shortly. The Dr said after the next treatment they are going to start me on neulasta (not sure if that is right) shots which will help my white counts refurbish themselves. Well that's about it. How is your mom Monica? I still have her on my daily prayer list and pary all is well. Well that's about it take care and God bless! Bonnie Rose |

Congrats, Bonnie! Keep it coming down!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Mom. We will see the oncologist tomorrow to get her chemo schedule (she already has the port in). Not eating well (says everything tastes and smells awful to her). Can't keep her out of bed for long (says she's too weak), but we're trying to encourage her to continue exercises, drink fluids, move around. This lying in bed all day is NOT GOOD. My sister will be leaving in 2 weeks. Don't know how I'm going to arrange care for her. I will do everything I can (be there 24/7), but concerned about my family at home - hubby still recovering from car accident and surgeries, now has an elevated PSA and is going for bloodwork and biopsy. And I'm STILL trying to maintain my health. Whew!!!!!
You're still in my prayers also - how many more treatments?

Hi Bonnie,
I'm so glad to hear you're getting results from the topotecan. Are you feeling well? Does the topotecan (sounds like an Mayan god to me!) have any side effects other than hair loss?
