We saw the oncologist yesterday afternoon and my CA125 went from 460 last month to 291. We did a major “happy dance” in the office with tears, as usual. The oncologist, wanting to bring us back to reality, reminded us that my cancer will never be cured and that as the cancer cells mutate, this particular chemo will probably lose its effectiveness. There is simply no way to predict when that might happen. We are just holding on to today and feeling pretty sassy. I felt a little puny last night and today and expect some mild side effects throughout the weekend, but still amazed at how 'easy' this chemo is. The next chemo and CA125 is in a month. Will keep you all posted.
