Waiting

I made it through the first of my last days of chemo. Now I sit waiting for my ride to my last. I am excited, yet nervous. No matter how many times you put your body through this, you never know what to expect. I think about my last round and how it wasn't too bad. I am praying for an outcome like that for this time. But you never know.

My doctor told me that after this week of treatment, he will see me for an exam on the 22nd of October and if all goes well that day, I won't have to go back for two months! Isn't that awesome!!?!!

My CA125 test that was up last time, has come back down, lower than ever before. It is now at an 8!! For any of you who have done the research, you know that an 8 is great! For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about I'll quickly fill you in. The CA125 test is a test which they use to help determine if you have any cancer in your body. The normal, no cancer, range is from 0-35. Obviously my 8 is good news! The values can fluxuate depending on various things going on with your body. And it isn't the only test they use to determine if you are cancer free. They also use the CT scans and physical exams, for me, both of which have come back negative of anything. Praise be to God!

But, I am not out of the woods yet, I still have a day left of chemo. Please keep me in your prayers! Thank you!!
