HI!
Nancy,

Thanks for asking. I am doing great for the shape I am in ☺ Praise the Lord! Just tired.

I had chemo last Monday, got sick on Carboplatin this time. Guess my body is just not liking this chemo 2nd time around. Bone marrow does not respond well to Neumega shot for my platelets either, but bone marrow does well with Neulasta (goes down before I can get chemo and then have to take daily Neupagen).

Monday, May 3rd I go to OSU Onc/Gyn Center in Columbus (part of James Cancer Center) for a second opinion. My onc/gyn believes I may have "more time" if I go to a center and see what they have to say about my bone marrow, etc. Then in two weeks I have my CT scans and chest xrays and should have my CA125 and other blood work done by then.

Chemo treatment either May 14 or 17. She took me off every 2 weeks since my platelets are never ready and put me on 3 weeks. I am not going 3 weeks this time because I have too much planned that week!! ☺

Enjoying everyday, continuing to lose weight, good appetite though. Not underweight, just less than everyone has been use to seeing me. Lot of muscle loss - got to start pumping those weights and working out again!! Amazing what happens - guess when you don't use it you really do lose it!

Chemo was to be done with this last one (14th). Since I have been off schedule so much my doctor thinks I need more. Prayfully my tests will show progress and I can take a break.

Not in my hands but His. Again, thanks for asking. I had more to say than I thought!

Living for Eternity,
