This number- 64.7 - is Cheryl's new CA-125 level. Before her debulking surgery it was over 800. On October 1st, after one round of chemo, it was 246.6. Three weeks and a second round of chemotherapy later it has been cut by nearly 75%. There is certainly cause for rejoicing around our house today.
Cheryl had her appointment with Dr. Burke, the gynecologic oncologist, today. He was very pleased with how she appears to be doing. They had an extensive conversation about how she feels during and after each day of chemo and he remarked how well she is tolerating chemotherapy. Her pelvic exam was normal. When they did her CA-125 at the lab they also did a CBC and metabolic panel. Both of them indicated that her body is ready for the next round of chemo on Monday.
We are grateful for all the prayers that everyone has been lifting on our behalf. Continue to pray for the next round of chemo to be as effective as the last.
