Well, good news all the way around. My last CA-125 was 7.7, last month it was 8.6. I guess the bottom line is that the chemo definitely worked. The question now is will the cancer come back without the chemo. I’ll be having the blood test monthly for awhile and probably a CT scan in the fall. My energy is definitely coming back, and so is my hair … hoorraayy!!! (photo to follow soon) I’ve started a Buddhist meditation class, trying very hard to just focus on, and appreciate, “today” and not worry about what might happen tomorrow. I'm also working with an acupuncturist and a naturopath for healing and nutrition.
The other good news is that we have a new granddaughter. Beth delivered Ila Ann Karpel Sunday evening around 8:30 pm. She weighed in at 8.5 lbs., has a head of dark hair and is nursing like a champ. Nothing like a new baby to change your perspective about life.
Love you all,
Nyshie (aka Grandma Nysh)
