I truly truly, truly believed I would have more time in remission. I woke up this morning to anxiously check my CA125 cancer marker and it’s now moved from an 11 in my remission state to a 36 three weeks ago and now a 43.
I don’t feel sick or diseased except for the swelling in my abdomen which I have been noting to doctors since December.
Yesterday, I learned that both my Maine and Farber doc want to do a CT scan. In fact the Farber doc wanted it done weeks ago but somehow the Farber nurses there told me a different story, “watch and wait.” Yesterday there was also talk of a second-line therapy.
How odd life is. I guess you could say I had six months of remission. And, I’m not done yet, but it’s hard to stay positive when your bloodwork tells you something different.
Not sure what is ahead… more chemo, surgery? Other drugs? This will all be revealed in the next week or so and with the results of my scan. My last scan was at the end of December so it will be about a month.
Praying for more time. 🙏
Lynn ❤️
