Home, Week 63

I need to find a different way of titling these posts so that they still indicate chronology, but aren't counting the weeks that Mom's been home from the hospital... any suggestions? =)

CA-125 is 577, only down 5 points. The next doctor appointment will be very revealing, I imagine.

Okay, double info... Mom's count went down to 582, and it's chemo day again.

Same thing, different day. =)

Home, Week 57

CA-125 is down to 622! This drug wasn't supposed to take time to kick in, but it appears that's the way it's acting. We'll take the blessings where we can. =)

Well, the next step was to have another round of this same drug, now that the infection is gone. The thinking is that the infection may have caused her CA-125 to falsely be high (even though the CA-125 was weeks before the staph showed up...), so we'll see what happens. I can't logically chalk this up to anything (even though the doctor is trying), so I'm going with the doings of a higher power.

Preliminary blood results came back, and it looks like the staph infection is gone! So now we wait and see what the next step is. =)

Home, Week 54

I'm not quite sure how this happened, but Mom's CA-125 went down. To 792. She hasn't had chemo since the last number reading, this just kinda happened. Also, it's looking like her staph infection may actually be gone (won't know for sure until Monday, but we're optimistic), because she hasn't had anti-biotics since Monday, and she hasn't had a fever come back, so that's a positive sign as well.

Have a blessed Easter. =)
