So I got the go ahead to have treatment #3 last Friday even though my neutraphil count had not changed. I was disappointed to see they had not changed. BUT the good news -- my CA125 count (the ovarian cancer indicator) had decreased in half, so now it is around 500 (it still needs to be between 0-35).
I have been unusually tired this past week. Three out of 5 days I slept more during the day than David!! I am still very tired these days, but again I am grateful that we have someone to help so I can take those naps and David is safe and happy.
David has a bad cold and Tim is getting a sore throat so we need prayer that I will not get sick. So far God has kept me from getting a cold. God has been so good to us. Again, people stepping up to help with David, people providing meals, get-well cards every day, prayers! I pray that others in my situation are getting the love and support we have.
I will return to the doctor Monday to get a neulasta (?) shot which is to help boost production of white blood cells through the bone marrow. They say the side effects are minimal -- my bones will hurt, especially the longer bones. So they have recommended that I take Claritin. I will have another CT scan in 2 weeks.
We are so grateful to have Nanna helping us, what a blessing!! We have only a few days left before she heads back home.
