Cancer Treatment Center of America...so far the experience has been quite good. We have been treated as queen and king. Really. It's a relaxing place, lots of activities planned, good food to eat, smoothies to drink and lots of lattes! Our transportation is free and available to drive us just about anywhere. Our hotel is super nice and just a stone's throw across from CTCA.
We arrived Thursday night. Tests were performed Friday. I have a few pages to share on this blog about the actual details--only cause i want people to know and I want to remember!! but that will be my next blog:-)
Quickly I want to share that my CA125, although tested just under a month ago, is still climbing - it is now 1,730. WOW!! or UH OH! It's always a surprise to hear a higher number especially when i think I have done a "good" job NOT eating the things I want to eat:-)
The CT Scan shows tumors in my lymph system in the abdomen, in my left neck area and under both arms. This is discouraging (very discouraging) news. It seems that our option is going to include chemotherapy - again. We will meet with another oncologist, the naturopath, the nutritionist and nurse educator on Wednesday for a detailed plan of treatment.
Asking for prayers, as always, to be brave, to live each day, to allow God's will with grace:-)
