Round Six Underway

Cheryl had her first session of round six of chemotherapy on Friday. The session went well and she had an informative appointment with the PA. She also had a chance to show off pictures of our newest granddaughter, Abigail Rose Nebel.

Yesterday and today she has been extremely tired and feeling generally miserable. This coming Friday will be her final session of chemo so we are praying that it will have the desired effect and push the cancer into a lengthy remission.

Cheryl says that all of this is worth it since we are planning to go visit Abigail(and the rest of the Nebel family) in a few weeks.

Moving in the Right Direction

Cheryl had her second treatment of round five today. While there, she received a copy of her blood work from last Friday. Her CA125 dropped from 61.3 to 50.4 which is still above the desired level of 35 or less. Her other blood work and metabolic panel levels are at or close to normal values so she is able to continue treatment.

Her next CA125 will be taken when she starts round six in two weeks. Please be praying that the count continues to drop.

Round Five Underway

Cheryl had her first dose of her fifth round of chemo today. The PA discussed the results from last week's CT scan and said that everything looks good. The levels on her routine bloodwork are still holding up. Today's CA-125 results should be posted the first of next week but may have a day or two delay because of the Labor Day holiday.

Other than being a bit tired, Cheryl is feeling well. A couple of ladies from church dropped by for a visit this week and that did her a lot of good. We're still eagerly awaiting the news of our new granddaughter's arrival in the next couple of weeks but are a bit sad that we won't be able to travel to see her until after Cheryl finishes round six, the end of this month.

Pray that the chemo will continue to push the cancer all the way into remission.
