Home, Week 37, New Chemo Round 1

Mom had the first round of the new chemo on Tuesday. The way this drug is going to work is she'll have chemo on a Tuesday, and that first week she'll start to wear down. The second week is her seder, and that's when her numbers are down the tube. The third week she picks back up and feels good. Then she has chemo again the following week, and the cycle starts all over again.

Home, Week 36

Good news, Mom's CA-125 only went up to 491 on this break, so getting down to cancer-free is not going to be as long of a journey as it could have been. She starts on Tuesday, so we'll see how things go. This drug is supposed to make her hair fall out and her blood counts go low, so it'll be a tough ride, but if it works, it will be worth it. Keep her in your prayers, she'll need the strength again.
