Well, she went for another round of chemo. We're hoping that it will work the second round. =)

Home, Week 46, Another New Chemo, Round 1

This one is going to hit her white count harder than the previous one, but her red count won't be affected as much. Everything else should be status quo, in terms of side effects.

Home, Week 45

Mom's CA-125 went up to 756, so she's switching to a new drug next week. Pray hard.

Home, Week 42

Mom's CA-125 went up to 533. That was a hard hit to take. She's still going through with the next (third) round of chemo, and we'll talk to the doctor next week about a game plan, depending on how the numbers come out after the third round. Mom and I were talking in the car, and she said "After all, I shaved my head for this". We shaved it this last week. lol

Home, Week 40, New Chemo Round 2

Mom had her second round of the new chemo drug on Tuesday. Her CA-125 went down to 423, so this drug is working. Her birthday is on Saturday, and she's conscious for this one (yay!), so this one counts (boo).

Her hair is coming out, and it's rather thin now, but we haven't shaved her head yet. When she gets tired of it coming out when it's long, she'll let me know.
