Update on my mom's CA-125
Before Surgery: 525
After Surgery: 256
Halfway through treatments: 26
Most recent test: 16
This HAS to be good news right? I mean this is a significant drop in her tumor markers. I know there are no guarantees, but dont the women with this significant of a response to treatment tend to fare better? My mom is 75 and obviously post-menopausal so I would think her CA-125 is more reliable than in pre-menopausal women.
Maybe its just a number who knows...but Im holding on to this bit of good news with her blood tests! We can be cautiously optimistic, right?
