First, the CA-125 result wasn't as dramatic as previous results. But I'm still in a downward trend, with an additional point lost. The doc said results would slow. I'm hoping I get into the teens by the end of treatment, but I'll take anything in the normal range. Some photos from the day:
This is the best news to get at the start of a new round.
Well, my "coming out" party on Facebook was an overwhelming success. The outpouring of love and support... I grinned, I laughed, I cried as I read people's comments. My heart feels so full. I stared at the blinking cursor of my status update for easily 10 minutes, trying to figure out how to drop the … Continue reading Wow.
Met with the doc today and she is very happy with my progress. She's excited to see my next CA-125 results in two weeks and thinks we may get down to normal range. Great news! And I surprised her with the blue wig today. She liked it a lot!

I got to shower this morning. Like, actually shower. It was glorious. I get a full liquid diet breakfast this morning. Pudding, cream of wheat, coffee and orange juice. They anticipate releasing me tomorrow. Thanks for all your wonderful (and funny) comments and texts. Love you all!
Only pictures can really do this news justice... The spread... Ready for chow time So much happy.
All I can Do is Smile
