Second round of Carbo/taxol

You all may know that Doxil didn't work for me as it took me into the hospital and didn't prevent fluid accululation around one of my lungs. So my onc put me back on Carbo/taxol as I responded so well to it the first time round.

Well yesterday was my second infusion and it all went well.

Best news of all ...... I also got my CA125. It went from 1081 down to 449 in one infusion. If you have heard of the expression gob smacked (it is English) I just sat in his office with my hand plasted over my mouth!!!!!!!!!! I was expecting somethinglike a 100 or 200 drop but not more that half.

I feel so well on this chemo because it has destroyed thecancer cells that were making me ill.
