“Life isn’t the way it’s supposed to be…”
Ah well, here we go again. Just got the results of my CA125 that I had drawn on Tuesday and it has gone from a very, comfortable “9” to a concerning “21.” Remember, anything under 35 is considered “normal” but it has been such an accurate barometer of what my cancer is doing in the past, we are fairly certain it is returning. The oncologist wants me to chill out (easy for him) and have it rechecked in a month just to be certain it isn’t a fluke. If it’s still going up at that time, I’ll get a CT scan and go from there, depending on the results.
One of the most concerning aspects of this is that my insurance company denied approval of the cyber knife procedure, which I had in October. This could potentially significantly limit my treatment options in the future. We are planning a well-coordinated appeal, time will tell. If not, Paul has agreed to sell an organ ... depending on which one.
As I told Paul tonight, my life is still better than most of the people living on this earth. That’s what I have to hang on to entering the next phase of this “adventure.” Will keep you all posted.
Love you all,
Nyshie
