in Ovarian Cancer #1

I am having my chest port out on Monday morning....  I am very excited about this because that was the last thing on my cancer list that had to be taken care of.  It will be so nice to look at myself in the mirror and not see those 3 little dots looking back at me screaming 'you had chemo"...

I have my next 3 month check up in a couple weeks so when I went in for my pre op blood work they did my CA 125 too.  Got the call today and my level is 13....  I am so happy....

    That is terrific.

    I am so happy for you.  You look so sweet in your picture, as I am sure you are.  Congratulations on leaving all the cancer stuff behind.

    Lucky 13!

    I am so happy that things are going so well for you and that you get to say good-bye to your port!  I had mine removed in January and the process only took about 10 minutes.  I'm sure it will go just as smoothly for you.
