Doing well

Kgirl

I just think everybody would like some good news! My chemo was switched back to taxol/carboplatin (from topotecan/avastin) in early Dec. The CA-125 was 408, It was drawn again (after 1 2/3 cycles - I'm on weekly treatment) and it was 62!!! I'm hoping it will continue to fall into the normal range again.

Other good news - My oldest daughter Lisa (who is 25) will be getting married in August. And my daugher Rachel (23) and her husband Ryan are thinking seriously about having a child in the coming year. She does want to lose a little weight and starting eating really healthy first. This would be my first grandchild. At the moment, I only have a grandpuppy - who I love dearly.

I am doing well on the new regimen. Still working! More tired than the last - but trying to rest when I need to and eating well. I am taking magnesium for the 1st time since I required one IV infusion of it in late Dec. Apparently, carbotaxin causes the kidneys to excrete extra amounts of it.

Best wishes to all!

Kgirl,
Glad to hear the good news! Hope the switch continues to bring down the CA-125. Prayers coming your way!

Good for you!
Carbo really works well for me. I have developed an allergy after 13 doses and have been switched to Doxil now on my re-occurance . (8 doses in 2007 and 5 in 2009.) My CA125 is a good marker for me and dropped from 434 to 52 on those5 last doses. CT shows a large drop in size too.

Lots for you to look forward to this year!!!!
