And, the good news just keeps on coming. First of all, I STILL have my hair! No idea if or when it will start coming out. As you remember, my CA125 was 92 prior to starting chemo. After one treatment, it came down to 44 and after my last treatment, it came down to 13! I have my third treatment tomorrow, so we fully expect this trend to continue. I asked my oncologist yesterday if it drops even lower, could I just skip the last 3 chemos, but no such luck, for a variety of reasons. (Faster reoccurrence time and shorter overall survival time)
There seems to be no consistent good day/bad day pattern after the chemo, so I’m just trying to make the best of the good days. Enjoying the beautiful fall weather, the grandchildren (the joy of my life) and friends and family.
Love you all,

from BGGN ...
Hello,
I can’t even begin to give you all an update without first taking a minute to say thank you to each and every one of you. You have no idea how much love and support we receive on a daily basis in the forms of emails, cards, visits, food, calls, etc. I wish I could call each of you and thank you personally, but the list would be a little long: my dear Fly Family; our children; our Seymour family; my other “Miller” family; our Colorado family; our Utah family; our Delaware, Florida, Mississippi, Seattle, Santa Fe families and Brussels and who knows who I’m forgetting.
We simply couldn’t do it without you!
We just returned from 6 days in Seattle/Port Townsend, where my brother Hank got married. It was such an incredible trip, fly-fishing, hiking, sailing, lots of wonderful seafood and perfect weather.
Back to reality. Had my full-dose chemo Friday morning and the wizard must have put something different in there. The bad chemo day hit me as soon as I returned home and continued through most of the weekend. I was expecting my usual 48 hours of feeling great before it hit me. Should be much better within the next few days.
From a very special card:
“There are two ways to journey through life. You can march…or you can dance.”
Think I’ll dance …
Love,
Big Giant Grandma Nyshie
