More good news
Good news from the Dr.s today. My CA-125 is now down to 14! He says that all is going really well and that I'm "tolerating" the chemo. That's putting it mildly. My body does not like the chemo cocktail that it's being given. I'm in bed for at least 2 1/2 days with no energy or strength at all, feeling constantly nauseated. I've been given a nausea patch and 2 different pills to take, but none have taken the edge off yet. I'm beginning to think that more of this is "mental" rather than "physical" and I need to get past it, but not really sure how as of yet. More news to post , but seriously can't keep my head up and fingers moving to make sense so will post more tomorrow.

The CA-125 count is wonderful news, Marcia! There's surely a psychological aspect to what you're going through -- dealing with the recurrence of cancer, with having to endure chemo again, with having your life thoroughly disrupted, with all that entails -- but from an outsider's perspective you are dealing with it all amazingly well. The nausea/energy/fog/blah are all real, physical symptoms, and your attitude is what's making those "tolerable." Rock on, strong woman!
Peace,
Jeff
