    Another update - have to brag...

    4 weeks after starting the drug trial - CA125 dropped by 595 points, today's number is 205.

    No side effects whatsoever. I feel fine. And I lost 13 lbs, which brings me from morbidly obese into pleasantly plump category!

    Thank you and many hugs!

     

     

    Whew! Way to go!

    I've had fingers and toes crossed for you.  Think that helped?
