The oncologist has presented 3 options: continue chemo on a "maintenance level" which means getting one chemo drug instead of two. The drug they would continue with is the one that causes all the side effects -- neuropathy, hair loss, fatigue, constipation, nausea -- but less duration (if that's any consolation); option 2 is to get involved in a drug study and option 3 is to do nothing. We will get the results of the CA125 on Friday before chemo. Hopefully it will be in the normal range of 0-35! Three weeks ago (after treatment #6) it was 325 I believe. Which is higher than before surgery, but "normal" to be higher.
I am not in remission yet, so I don't know what to do. I do believe God knows my future so I trust in His answer...I just need prayers to hear Him!!
Cecilia has been our visitor since Labor Day and it has been a very short but absolutely a lovely visit. We had some people over last night to hear what God is doing through Cecilia in Greece. To make a long story short she is teaching Bible in a private school for those who cannot afford to go to the Greek schools or other private schools, she conducts Bible studies on Tuesdays and Saturdays, she works with refugees, and she is beginning a ministry among young women involved in illegal human trafficking. In addition to her full-time job of teaching she is finishing her masters degree in Christian counseling and helping young women learn to sew so they can earn some income. She brought some hand bags and is selling them while she is here in the states.
