Woohoo!
Just got some of my blood work back from last Friday, and my cancer CEA value has improved! I think that means the chemo thing is working! These numbers aren't reliable for everyone, but for me, historically, they've been an accurate reflection of my cancer status. There's another number the docs watch called the cancer antigen, but those results aren't back yet. Both of these numbers being elevated over the summer was my first indication that my meds had stopped working and then that was verified by PET scans. Anyway, happy news, my numbers are down, and that makes all the chemo totally worth it! All those good vibes you've been sending are working!!

ReplyDeleteYay Sissy! That's awesome :) Love you :) xoxo
ReplyDeletePersonally I think it was the Florida air, the ocean breeze and perhaps the margaritas that have made the difference. But if you want to believe its the chemo . . .
ReplyDeletePraise God!! That is wonderful news. I'm so glad that you're doing this blog. I've been praying for you for...years. But this helps me know HOW to pray for you. I will be keeping up with your blog on a consistent basis. Oh...and you look beautiful. I'm very jealous of your perfectly shaped head. :o)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the meds are working, though I think it would be more fun to think that Colleen is right. Can't you just imagine how pleasurable the treatment would be: sea-side cottage with Pool Boy Will serving up the Margaritas.
