I want to share the good things that God has done for me.
When I went for my pre-chemo checkup, I mentioned to the doctor all the strange symptoms I had been experiencing. She said that it is the Stemetil, the anti-nausea drug they routinely prescribe. I happen to be one of the few people that violently react to it. There are other drugs that I can take in its place. This time round the side-effects are rather minimal in comparison.
Also, I had another CA125 blood test that showed a significant decrease in the levels after two rounds of chemo. The numbers went from 4095 down to 278; the normal range is 0-35. I know that the cancer is not spreading, but is being destroyed!

Praise God for the good news, and for your heart of praise Debbie.
I am especially thankful for 3 things after reading this...1--that you did not have the same horrible side effects as last time (I felt so helpless and sad),2--that the CA125 level has lowered so much and 3--to see you write your blog again!
love and hugs
