Hello, Lisa & All!!
			
Oh, Lisa, thank you for thinking of me.  And I apologize for being out of touch lately....

My chemo-brain never remembers to sign in once I get on the computer lately.  Plus I've just

mostly been recovering from those 2 hospital stays, 25lbs lost, and extremely low blood counts.


Yesterday I had my 3rd dose of Taxol/Carbo + Avastin.  But after my 2nd treatment, my CA went UP 9 points.  It's at 62.5 right now; not too bad, as the scale on this test is 0-17.  I'm

hoping that this treatment will bring it down.  So far, so good as far as side-effects.  But

the nausea/vomiting/diarrhea usually hits me about 3 days after treatment.  Last treatment he

lowered my dose by 10% due to the weight loss, so I'm wondering if that's why I didn't get as

sick.  He kept the dose the same, so I'm hoping this month will be as easy, but not if it means that the chemo isn't working so well.  I just hope my CA falls.


I hope you are feeling well, and getting your back healed.  Boy, it's always something, isn't

it?


Anyway, your post made my day, and I thank you for that.  God be with you, and with us all~


Love,

  ~Susan xoxo
