Hi gals, I just got my CA125 result after 2 avastin and one low dose chemo treatment. It has gone down 323 points. I am not having any side effects from the avastin, a some skin issues from the taxotere, but have more energy than I have had in 3 years.

I am sooooo grateful to have some extenstion on my life, and my docs both feel I could actually go into remission. I am not hanging my hat on that, but am so very very happy to be alive!!!! I wake up at 5AM with the sun and can't go back to sleep. I go all day (with a few breaks) and am actually getting projects done. I can't tell you how good this feels.

Thanks gals for always being here!

Hugs all around for my Teal sisters,
kathleen

    YES!!
    What wonderful news! You so deserve this after all you've through. Enjoy your new found energy. Remission would be icing on the cake, but even stable is a beautiful thing. I, too celebrate being alive. My heart is swelling for you today!
