Chemo #3

Well, I had chemo #3 today. It was also my second CA125 test since the surgery. Just to refresh...

Before Surgery 9824
10 days after surgery 7583
Today 86!!!!!!!

Yes, eighty six, that's not a misprint. After 2 chemos I had a 7497 drop in my CA125!

I'm not in the normal range yet, but now I have high hopes that someday I will be putting on my dancing shoes!

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I truly believe that without prayers and positive thinking, I wouldn't have made it this far!

HUGS!

    Yay, Leesa!
    I am thrilled that you got such a good "score". Not surprised, but thrilled, just the same.

    My CA125, which started out at 4,000, only fell to 245 after my second treatment, so I'd say you are doing GREAT! When my number dropped into the "normal" range (after treatment number 4)...well, I couldn't have been happier if I had won the lottery.

    Wow
    Oh Leesa I am so pleased to read about your CA 125. 86 is fantastic after only 2 chemo's. Go girl and I predict it will keep dropping.

    Love Tina xx

    Great news!
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful news! Love hearing it! I have to start a new regimen this week -- 3 weeks on with Taxol and Avastin with one week off and then three weeks on and one off, so forth. Forgot to ask how long I'll have to do that.

    I just know you're going to be dancing with NED soon!
