Thank you to you both! She is getting her chemo now. The next step is a CT on the 25th and then an appointment with her oncologist on the 26th to go over the results. She's been feeling pretty poorly lately so I am hoping all this goes in her favor.

I appreciate your kind words and support. I wish you both the best and I am sending you positive vibes!

P.S. I am super proud of myself. This is the first time I ever quoted multiple messages.

Good job on multiquotes, wrang!! I can't even do THAT! I even forgot how to post a pic to someone's page...:(.
Anyway, still sending good energy & strength to you & your mom. I will not remember these dates but do let me know how things go, please?
Hugs you both...

Thank YOU for your friendship & support always wrang!!

Always, Clay!

Last Monday I took mom for a CT scan. On Friday we went to the oncologist. The 2 spots are still there. However, they don't know if they are cancer or not. They said it could be treated cancer. They have stopped chemo treatments for two months because they said her body can't handle any more at this time. Her body needs time to rest and heal. Her CA125 is within normal range. We'll go back in August to check those numbers again. Hopefully, they stay the same.

Normal range sounds hopefull. I am keeping you and your mom in my thoughts. I wish you my best and I hope that your mom recovers.

Thank you, Chad. Overall she is doing well. She walks every day, goes to the YMCA a few times a week to swim and walk. She does things outside like working in the flower beds and various other activities. She just gets tired very quickly but doesn't sleep well. Plus, she's much weaker than she was.

She's also doing things like backing the car into the flower bed. Then she went to the store but forgot a few things on her list so I had to run back over there. I think the chemo has caused her to become a little foggy. Hoping that fog lifts during the chemo break.

I hope you and your mom are doing well. The addition sounds nice. Maybe you could add another wing for weary butches.

Thanks again!

Yep, I think you and I will chat a lot as time goes by. Mom can still take care of herself but I am worried about the times that she may need a lady around.

Best wishes your friend,
Chad

Thanks so much, Clay. Your continued kindess and positive thoughts mean a lot to me!

You rock!

Thats sounding pretty positive to me Wrangler, I`m so glad for both of you.

Thank you, Ms. Daisy! :)

Clay, sending lots of positive thoughts and healing energy your way. :rrose:

I like the sentiment `leaving it all in the Goddess`s hands` that has been my mantra of late.

Pheww indeed. What a relief ! I know you still have a way to go, more concerns and issues to resolve but benign is a wonderful update. Stay strong my friend :rrose:

It looks like it is back to chemo for my mom. We went in June and her CA125 was 15 and yesterday it was at 39. Next Wednesday they will do another CT scan and then we'll discuss what to do next. She has been on a break because they said she couldn't handle any more chemo. Yesterday they said because her cancer came back once before it will most likely be recurring. The oncologist said that just like some people take medicine for high blood pressure she will need chemo to treat cancer most likely until the end of her life. After leaving the hospital my mom said that it will probably kill her.

I just don't know anymore. I don't know what it means for either of us. Just when you think it's gone it rears it's ugly head and punches you right in the gut.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Wrang & Mom)))))))))))))))))))

Sometimes, it is just deciding when "enough is enough". When they have a fighting spirit & a will to live, then they will fight hard! When they are just tired & want to have quality vs quantity, then decisions have to be made.

Neither is an easy choice, and I do not relish that for either of you.

I DO know that I will be sending as much white light & positive energies as I can. Know that someone is there for you both......my friend.....gentle hugs....

Wrangler, I dont think I could of said it any better than our friend Clay. It really is about how much more of this fight she can handle. You and your Mom both must be very weary. This is hard to hear after the chemo break. Sending you love and light as you process this latest news. :rrose:
