Hello everyone! Well the doc called today with tumor marker result. It is normal(17.6). I was so relieved I actually started crying. I think the last 2 weeks of worry have taken a toll. I have lost a clothing size from not eating/sleeping. He said that the test can give false negative/positives though and therefore the only way to be 100% sure there is no cancer is to remove and biopsy it. So I see the surgeon tomorrow and go from there. I will update on any future developments. But I want to thank all of you for your kindness and support. You are all so positive and uplifting. I am in awe of your strength and courage. Take care, you are in my prayers and thoughts. Love, Eileen

    Thank you again so very much for your support girls. I see the surgeon tomorrow. I am anxious to have the thing removed and biopsied and then move on with the rest of my summer! Hugs, Eil

    Great news on the CA-125. The others have good advice to yu and I agree. See how much torture we ALL put ourselves through? After so much, self torture, life is good and it is easier to give it up to a higher power (God for me) and go on with our lives to the best of our abilities. At least, you can be grateful for the prompt appointments and not waiting for a long period of time for test resultss. Sounds like your doctors are on top of everything. Hugs & Prayers, Saundra

    Thank you Saundra. How is chemo going? I was thinking of you. I talked with my onc thismorning and he agrees with my gyn that the markers are a good sign, BUT (theres always a but), it is only ONE tool and we must wait till the pathology report after it is removed. He is a real sweetie, but thismorning a real buzz kill!!! Well, I guess we can't blame doctors---they see a lot and know from exp. that things don't always turn out like they seem to be. Well, anyway, I'm thinking of you and sending positive vibrations your way! I think that is part of a song..........Tc, Eileen
