As the Chemo Drips...

After beating ovarian cancer once, I've been re-diagnosed. Here I'll share my journey of chemotherapy and surgery including the ups and downs, laughter and tears and everything in between.

Great News!!!!

Great news from the Dr. today.  My tumor has shrunk 70%!!!!!  also my CA-125 is 8.6   the lowest it has ever been.  No surgery for now, continue chemo for another 6 months, then another cat scan.  If the results are good I hopefully will be put on a maintenance chemo.  The Dr. is cutting back on my chemo this month to see if we can control how I feel after treatment, so I'm not as tired and dragged out.  Also, stopping the one chemo as it's  side effects are causing me to have severe nose bleeds and trouble swallowing.  I'm scheduled for a scope of my throat and esophagus in a few weeks to see what the problem is.

Thinking that being in Mexico played a big part in my healing.  The sunshine and warm weather, lower stress and just relaxing and enjoying life.....may just have to go back!!!

Thank-you all for keeping my in your prayers....Peace & Love
