Hello everyone. I know there are lots of people thinking of us and wondering how we made out with my appointment. Yesterday I felt sad, scared and angry so I did what I needed to do to battle those feelings. Today is a new day and I am feeling more positive and determined with the task at hand . The CT scan has shown growth in the cancer since I have not been having any chemo for the past 2 months. The oncologist assured us this is normal and what they expect to see when patients take drug holidays. Also, the CA 125 has increased very high and this is the test that measures the number of cancer cells. We discussed several options that included continuing on with a drug holiday, starting chemo again , or taking a chemo medication by mouth that is not as aggressive.
I continue feeling really well and am full of determination to be as well as possible. In saying that, I have decided I would like to get started on the most aggressive chemo ASAP.
It sounds like the new chemo regime will be once every 28 days and will do 3 rounds then more scans and CA 125 tests to see if the chemo is doing its job.
Cancer Care Brandon hopes to start chemo for me this Thursday or Friday so I will rest up and be ready to work as hard as I can to KILL off all those bad cells.
Thanks again everyone for your love, support and prayers. With my family and all of you rooting me on, there is only one outcome possible!!! We will win this fight.... Keeping you in the loop,
Always, Donna xxoo
