Title to be figured out later

Mom's been on a break from chemo for a few weeks... her bone marrow just wasn't replenishing her red and white blood cell counts fast enough, and so after six rounds, she took some time off, and went traveling. She spent a long weekend in Iowa for a family reunion, then spent two weeks in San Diego visiting Brooke, helping her get her new house settled. Oh, BTW, Brooke and Joel BOUGHT a house! We're so excited for them. =)

So anyway, now it's just a matter of finding out what her new CA-125 number is, and setting up the game plan from there.

Home, Week 66

Count went down 48 points (at 529 now)... this drug is making no sense to us.

Mom's bone marrow isn't able to regenerate her red blood cells as quickly as it used to, so she's taking a break for a few weeks. Her red and white counts are both a little low, with her white count fluctuating, so she's been tired, but still up in spirits (what else would we expect from her).

Home, Week 64, Another New Chemo, Round 6

More chemo.

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.

Home, Week 61, Another New Chemo, Round 5

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

Home, Week 58, Another New Chemo, Round 4

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. =)
