Sorry I have not been on lately but I have been in Indiana, my brother had a heart attack, he had 3 stints put in. If you could keep him in your prayers. He is really doing great though, thank you Jesus!
I also have a praise report, although Hexalen has been a harder drug for me to take for some reason, my CA-125 went from 240 to 177 whoo hoo, thanks again Lord. I think it is hard to take because it makes me really nauseated(sp)and depressed and it is up to me to take it. I am taking an anti depressant and a nerve pill now and if I remember to take those it helps, sometimes I just wait to long.
Hope everyone is doing well. The sunshine is defenitly welcome.
God Bless and Love, Jan

    Dearest Jan, I am so glad the hexalen is working, I have heard almost everyone get great results if they can hold up from the depression. Most have stopped taking it because it made them so sad. Glad your brother is doing great also, and that you could be there for him. What a blessing. :-) Sending lots of prayers n hugs Bonnie

    wonderful
    Jan,

    Praising God Hexalen is working for you. I did not get depressed I don't think but maybe I should ask my husband how I was acting on it!☺

    But as you know I had to stop after 2 cycles and like Bonnie said, I have only heard good results from this treatment except for the depression or sadness.

    My CA125 has stayed below 35 every since my second chemo treatment. So the Hexalen was to be my maintenance program. (I am putting my faith in God to be my maintenance).

    It is raining here today in Ohio but yesterday was beautiful but a little chilly. Saturday we have a baby shower for my daughter-in-law and then my husband and I leave Sunday for Alabama for some R&R (fishing for crappies) at Weiss Lake.

    Hexalen made me feel weird but I did not get sick. I still have Zofran for nausea in case..............

    Love and hugs,
    Libby☺

    Sorry
    Sorry your brother had to have the stints. Isn't it wonderful that they can do this now days? Glad you are weathering the hexalen. Remember that it takes 2-3 weeks for the anti depressant to work it's magic. The numbers are great. Keep up your good work!!
