Well .............
Second verse, same as the first ...
Just had my CA125 drawn last week and it has increased from 8 to 36. Below 35 is considered normal but the trend for me clearly indicates that the cancer cells are ramping up again. I have decided to try a regimen of oral Tamoxifen (hormone normally used for breast cancer), which has had some effect in slowing down ovarian tumor growth in some cases. I’m continuing with the acupuncture, Chinese herbs, milkshakes and exercise which certainly can’t hurt. Will have everything rechecked in two months, but we’re probably looking at another round of chemo later in the year.
What can I say? It’s the hand I’ve been dealt. Just focusing on our four beautiful granddaughters, loving and supportive family and friends, and enjoying this beautiful Colorado summer.
Love you all,

Ila, baby Nyshie & Vivian
