Had chemo #4A on 11/26, the day before Thanksgiving. My chemo nurse, Terri, was out sick so another nurse, Ellen, filled in. The port is working like a charm. At the start of each series of three chemos, they pull a CA125 which measures cancer activity. I told friends I would either be elated for T-Day or bummed out, depending on whether the measurement went up or down.
Turned out I have lots to be thankful for. My CA125 went down 43.3 points (51%) to 41.8, the lowest it's been in more than a year. (Between 0-35 is good.)
And I've been given permission to tell all that I will become a grandmother again in mid-May. Tyler just turned 2 on Nov. 11 and is talking up a storm. When Megan asks him where Mommy's baby is, he points to her stomach. Not sure if he realizes what that means just yet. But we are all very happy at the news.
