The Campbells Trick or Treat

Jenna is a pink butterfly and Tyler a green dragon. Alex and Megan escorted the animals around their neighborhood on a fairly good weather Halloween.

Baltimore's on-air star

Was recently featured (10/25/10) on Baltimore's Channel 11 "Woman's Doctor" by Donna Hamilton. My oncology nurse had called to ask if I'd appear with my oncologist Dr. Dwight Im discussing ovarian cancer.To see what aired go to http://www.wbaltv.com/health/25504575/detail.html. Click on the video showing my colorful chemotherapy spreadsheet. The accompanying written article incorrectly states I still have my uterus and ovaries. They were cancerous and surgeon Dr. Neil Rosenshein cut all out Sept. 26, 2006, before I started first chemotherapy.

Late September was the 4th anniversary of my ovarian cancer IIIC diagnosis. Late October was my 26th anniversary of working at the U.S. Naval Academy. And the beat goes on.

CA125 dropped 24.8 pts to 92.3

CA125 dropped into double digits (always good news) when I got results of labs back during the 21st avastin treatment 10/14/10. Yeah! Bad news is that my magnesium was down to 1.1 necessitating getting 6 grams of mag (2gm/hour) so it added three hours to my OPC visit. Avastin only takes 1/2 hour so I was able to leave by 4:45 p.m. I had promised to go home to let the dogs out and feed them before heading to Megan's for dinner with the grand kids. SIL Alex has been in California on business most of the week. I texted Megan that I probably was going to be late but still managed to get there around 6 p.m. to help with dinner and bedtime rituals. Once all were settled around 9 p.m. I headed home.
