Had a CT scan last week but hadn't heard anything from my oncology nurse so was a little concerned when I went to my treatment yesterday. Wonderful nurse Donna said blood work showed I needed 4 grams of magnesium (2 hours to go in) but had to wait for results of urine labs before ordering Avastin. Dr. Im's assistant Terri handed me my CT scan results which said "stable exam." Many areas "unremarkable" which has become a favorite word for me. Nodules noted on previous scans hadn't grown or decreased. That means the Avastin is holding everything status quo, a good thing. Yea! My CA125 went down 2.8 points to 53.5. Still higher than than 0-35 normal range but it went in the right direction. I will continue on Avastin. So Megan's surprise trip to NYC this 3-day weekend for my birthday (Jan. 31) is going to be a celebration. We've tickets to a Sunday matinee of "A Little Night Music" with Angela Landsbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Alex is taking care of the kids and Dylan is minding the two dogs. Don't know who is getting the better deal.
