Happy for you tooSongflower said:I'm Turning Cartwheels
I am in remission too! We start the new Year with Kayaks!
When I had breast cancer I did the same thing with my oncologist. He only called me if my tumor markers showed a signficant that we needed to do something about. That way I didn't worry and had a better quality of life. I thought about doing that; actually I have changed to waiting for appts to hear. I really think the CA 125 worries us too much and saps our joy in our daily lives. When I had breast I looked at them later and they would go up and down. All that time I didn't worry. It is really something to think about and I applaud you for doing this!
How strong we get from coping with this cancer. I had a vitreous bleed or a small retinal detachment they are watching closely. This didn't even phase me. The retina specialist says it is not from chemo but I think it is. Perhaps avastin but they use avastin to treat alot of eye problems. The ER Dr was young and though I had a mini stroke. I didn't think so but he said my age......I forgot I was getting so old. 59 Tuesday. My eye is improving though. I still think it was from the chemo.
Joyous news for you Mary Ann! I am filled with hope!
Love,
Diane
Maybe, just maybe this year is going to be good to us all. Glad to hear your news. Hugs to you from Oregon.
