Needless to say she's extremely disappointed.

Glad to hear CA 125 is now "wnl". I am sorry to hear more chemo. Hang in there my friend!!

Know you both are in my thoughts & prayers buddy!!

Hopefully today is mom's last chemo (I know I've said this before). She was unable to get it last week because she had neutropenia. Her neutrophils (WBCs) were dangerously low. Hopefully she's within a range that will allow her to get it. We shall see.

Hey wrang...sending mom & you gentle hugs! Hey, no worries...life does happen sometimes, so things have to be changed. I will be keeping you both close in thoughts & sending positive light your way. Wishing all the best possible outcomes for her, wrang!

UPDATE: Tomorrow should be my last IV infusion at the oncologists.... I am feeling a bit better with the 8 I have gotten. I am now back to monthly B12 injections (I give those to myself). My hemoglobin is up to 11, so will recheck tomorrow. My ferritin levels have come back up greatly...were down to 8. Am hopeful my RBC's will be in much better range this next lab draw, hopefully! I will be seeing the oncologist every 4 months instead of yearly.
Overall I am feeling a bit more energized now... Thank you all for continually supporting me & keeping me in some good juju! Wishing us all brighter days to come.

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!!

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.
