Doctor's Report

I saw a gyn/onc from Dallas that was in town this month, alternates with my usual one to check my colon pain/diverticulitis. I have now had three pelvics in the last three months and no one can feel any tumor.
He ordered a CT yesterday and my oncology nurse called with the report this morning. I have a lymph node next to the sigmoid colon that is slightly enlarged but not the 5 cm it was last August so the carbo really worked at shrinking it. I have had a jump in the Dec. and Jan CA125 from 52 to 156 and 158 which could be the cold I had in Dec. and the diverticulitis in Jan. entering into the picture. Anyway, that CT report sounded like good news to me. I may have to have this section of colon removed though. Will schedule a colonoscopy after the cruise to see what the inside looks like.

God is good, Saundra
