Things are just humming along out here in Colorado. My next CA125 (tumor marker) will be on October 30th followed by chemo on November 1st. I’ll do an update when I have the results. Otherwise, I am recovering very well from the gallbladder episode with only minimal abdominal discomfort these days. Actually, Paul and I went to the gym this a.m. for the first time in months. It felt really good although I was careful not to strain anything of importance.

I wanted to share a couple of photos of our other two, beautiful granddaughters (Beth’s girls), Mae (1) and Ila (4 ).

 

One especially difficult thought for me has been that I wouldn’t be around to see our grandchildren start school. Well, Vivian is now in kindergarden and Ila starts next fall ... I’ll be here for sure!

Brief update from Mom and the latest of the girls!

I continue the slow recovery process from my gallbladder surgery. I’ve been surprised at how painful it still is at times. Some really good news to celebrate: my CA125 went from 291 seven weeks ago to 261 last week. This is not a huge drop, but as my oncologist said, it could have gone up because of the recent surgery and the inflammation that accompanies it, so we’ll take it! I had my fourth round of chemo last week as well with minimal side effects: fatigue and some loss of appetite.

A special thanks to our British friends, Roger and Carol, who came over to visit from France. It was a wonderful week and hopefully, we’ll be going to see them next time around.

Otherwise, all is quiet on the Western Front ...

Love,
Nyshie
