Forgot to mention that my CA125 went down 12 points to 46.9 (normal is between zero and 35) last time I went for my Avastin treatment Oct. 22. With good results from CT scan and CA125 I should be feeling good, right? Wrong. I have been hurting. My right knee was giving me a lot of pain and from the knee on down to my ankle was aching all the time. I popped Naproxen (muscle relaxer) and Tylenol with codeine (for pain) but felt like an old lady when I tried to get up from a sitting position. Even dug out my step-mom's uncle's cane.
Monday I went to Weinberg to have my blood drawn for labs (to keep tabs on how the Avastin is working on my blood). Nurse Karin asked me if I had an Ibuprofen. I had some at home but not with me. She gave me a 400mg Ibuprofen and by the time I got home, I felt much better. Last Ibuprofen I had prescribed from Dr. Im was in 2007 so e-mailed Nurse Terri for a new prescription for 800mg pills. Took one before I went to bed and slept like a baby. Yes, an old baby with creaky joints, but not waking numerous times thru the night to find a comfortable position! Yeah. Won't be running any marathons or running up and down stairs, but can walk more comfortably.
