I continue to do well with chemo. My CA-125, a tumor marker for
ovarian cancer, has dropped from 275 to 35 to 20 with three
treatments. The normal range starts at 21, so my last reading is
considered "normal". My main side affects are nausea/vomiting,
fatigue, bone/joint pain and neuropathy. All of it is tolerable and
I'm just trying to help my body deal with this assault. My white
blood count is high now thanks to a Neulasta shot the day after
treatment. My red blood count continues to plummet after a
treatment, but so far I've escaped a blood transfusion. All in all,
I'm pleased.
Thank you for the love and concern you have shown me and my family.
It means more than words can say. Please continue to pray for me. I
feel God is the ultimate healer and I'm trusting Him to make my body
whole again, cancer free.

Hi Connie and Angie, I just finished reading about your incredible journey since Labor Day to New Years and am impressed with Angie's talent and sweetness in setting up the blog to keep family and friends informed. And I am impressed with you Connie for maintaining your good nature and confidence through all these scary experiences. I do believe God put you in that chair next to my daughter in the chemo treatment room, to encourage us and give us strength for Judis Journey. Blessings on you both -- and the rest of the family too! Hugs, Carolyn (Judis mom)
Glad to hear you are improving. Sounds like you are hanging in there. Peggy commented on your great attitude! Thinking of you tons!! Love you forever.
