Went to Weinberg OPC yesterday to get the results of my CT scan and find out whether Dr. Im would continue Avastin treatments (I've had 12 so far) or do some other protocol. Nurse Joanne Vendetti drew my blood for labs and sent it off. Told me my magnesium count was 1.2 which is low so I needed 4 grams of mag (2 hours by IV). So she got me started on that. Dr. Im came by about 11:30 am, hugged me and said my CA125 had gone down. It was 46.5 which was down 17.2 points. (0-35 is normal) Yeah! My 4/19 CT scan results were: "Stable findings in chest, abdomen and pelvis since January 2010." Double yeah! Avastin appears to be holding the cancer in 3 nodes steady at 2 centimeters or less. Good news going into Mother's Day (5/9) and Jenna's first birthday (5/15).
