Numbers look good!

One of the ways we monitor the cancer is thru tumor markers, 2 different numbers that, for me, seem to reflect fairly accurately  how well the current medicine is working. And, so far, every month they've come down by half, so everyone at my appointment yesterday was all smiles:) me too.
I had my Eribulin treatment yesterday, as well as a prescription for an antibiotic cream for my poor scalp.  Helped, but hasn't cured it yet, so I'm trying to be patient:) I have the day completely off today, so am looking forward to taking it easy - even did my Wegmans run yesterday so i wouldn't have to do it on my day off:) Woo hoo, thanks everyone for sending hugs and positive thoughts, they help more than you know!!
