Cheryl had a call from her oncologist with her CA-125 results from last Friday. Her count has risen from 44 on her last test up to 61 on this test. Dr. Negrea said to not panic and that this is not unusual when taking a break during chemotherapy. She has her second session of round four tomorrow. Her next CA-125 check will be in two weeks when she starts round five.
On another note, Cheryl will be having a routine CT scan with contrast next Tuesday. This is not due to the CA-125 increase but had been planned since she started this series of chemo.
Cheryl continues to feel well, although she does tire easily. Please continue to pray with us that this rise in her CA-125 is only a temporary hiccup and that it will continue its downward path in the coming weeks. She has two great reasons to keep going- Michelle's baby girl due in four weeks and Sharon's baby ??? due in March.
Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back on your chemo and that you're feeling ok except for tired. It's so exciting about both the babies coming. We need to plan a time for me to stop by and see you after work once your immune system is going again. So far I've got a pretty healthy group of kids at school so if that keeps up I shouldn't end up a germ carrier. :-) I know Jud's taking good care of you and you remain in our daily prayers. Hope to see you before too long.
