God's morning to all. This is a praise post! In November I switched to getting carbo every 6 weeks and I am happy to say my ca125 is still staying low. It went up a couple points but is still at 12. Today is my 7th treatment of Carbo and I am going to stay with the 6weeks in between. Just had to share the great news. This is the least cancer I've had in over 2 years and the longest a chemo has held it stable. :-)

Life is full of miracles. If we would have stopped a couple years ago when nothing seemed to be working, I would not be here telling you this. Who knows maybe after 5 years of chemo ~ I will get a break. But if not, I am here now and was blessed with another Christmas with my family.

Prayers N Hugs Bonnie

Sometimes the Lord calms the storm and sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child

I am glad He kept me calm enough to ride the storm ~ somedays felt like the waves were sweeping over me ~ sucking me down ~ but here we are ~ life is truly an amazing ride!

    I am giving THANKS for your good news posted today to God. It seems I am always asking Him for something and today I will just express my gratitude for your good numbers and the example you have set for us all. I have that calming storm message posted on my computer where I see it everyday. Bless you, BonnieR. Saundra

    Congrats on some stable results. That is good news. And what perspective on "fighting the good fight." Your quote is excellent too. We can relate!

    Bonnie, this is great news! I think some of the docs are finally getting a grip on how to fine-tune treatment for their patients. I so glad to hear that the carbo is doing well for you.
