    I had herceptin yesterday. 

    I had herceptin yesterday.  They did a Ca-125.  It was stable at 15.something, right where it had been three weeks ago with last herceptin.  Reassuring.

    Woo Hoo!

    I asked them to add a CA125

    I asked them to add a CA125 on to the bloodwork before rituximab on Tuesday.  They sent it to Quest (had a lot of fun tracking that down), but I was finally able to get them to email me the result.  13!  Woohoo!  I don't know if it's different labs, but the last one was 16 I believe, so the drop to 13 is reassuring.  Of course, we all know that it's an imperfect marker, but mine was 36 at diagnosis, so I'm taking this as a good sign.

    Stay isolated, and be well.  This pandemic will pass, hopefully soon.
