Some good news...

Hi all,

Maggie here. Nysh and Paul are in Washington state for Nyshie's brother's wedding. She got some good news today. She is having lab work done weekly and they rechecked her CA125 this week. Before she started chemo it was 92 and this week it is 44! This means that her tumors are responding to the chemo and the effectiveness is apparent after just one treatment. She and Paul return next week and she will have chemo again. So, this is her "break." She was hiking today and sailing tonight and sounded wonderful. She's so happy that she could make this trip!!!

Loving,
Maggie

Well, I’ll be d….. After a couple of semi-rough days, fatigue, a little nausea, and body aches … today is Day 5 post-chemo and I feel great!! Did a fast walk with Paul and Kathleen about 1 ½ miles down our road this am. Helped Paul load a trailer and tractor onto the back of the truck. Played with Vivian and Nyshie for awhile. I’m actually going to force myself to go lie down for a bit, but still just feel amazingly well.

Chemo again on Wednesday, but only a partial dose, so hopefully an even easier weekend than last. Then I’m off for two weeks and start the process again. The chemo is supposed to be cumulative so we’ll have to wait and see how this all progresses, but what the hell…

I’m feelin’ sassy now!!!

Love,

Well, after 2 and ½ years, I'm off to see the Wizard. I should have 48 hours of dancing energy before the fatigue hits. Will do an update over the weekend, but I'm fully anticipating to breeze through this over the next 5 months. Thanks for all of the love and support.

Love you all,
Big Giant Grandma Nyshie
