How about a little good news for a change?
I hesitated to post because so many are not getting good reports lately. But, maybe by posting some good news, in its own way, it can spread a little hope.
I got my CA 125 results yesterday. Unbelievable, but my CA 125 went from 246 to 66 in ONE MONTH!! I can only assume Aromasin is doing the trick. I also know my lungs are pretty much back to normal, so that helps, too. I also had a bone scan on Tuesday because my local Onc suspected bone mets because of all the pain I've been having. Got the results back from that, and it was negative for mets. I do have a bit of spine degeneration that's still within normal limits, scoliosis, and arthritis in my knees and ankles. But the important part is no mets! The pain is likely caused by Aromasin, but if it is working that well for me, I'll deal with the pain as well as I can.
Thank you ladies who posted kind notes to me. I wasn't even thinking about my CA 125 because I've pretty much given up on my local Onc since I've been going to MD Anderson in Houston. I didn't even know he ran a CA125 last week. So when the nurse called and told me, you could have knocked me out of my chair with a feather! In two weeks, I will hit my 3 year anniversary of being diagnosed. Two more years, and I'm no longer a statistic. This has been an interesting ride, and I'm sure there is more to come.
It's my prayer that Donna, Linda, Ronni, Jan, Chris, Sharon, Rhonda, Teresa, Leslee, Dustinsmom, and anyone else who hasn't gotten good news lately that I may have missed will start hearing those postive words very soon. I am also thinking about Tasha and Sherrygail as they start treatment later today (it's after midnight where I am).
Thanks for always being here for me. I love you all and knowing you are here is a good mental kick for me.
Love,
Gail
