A bit of a Bummer!

Say my oncologist today. My CA-125 climbed to 124 (normal is considered under 30). Good news was that the CT scan showed only a small (1cm) growth on my aortic lymph node - doc says is better to have lots of small cells floating around than big groups.

I'll be starting chemo treatment next week - doing a trial - GOG 213. Will be the same drugs used the last trial I was on, so,... I'll be getting a new hair do! (Just got a new color last night! - tell me what you think next time you see me.)

My first 6 - 8 treatments (once every 3 weeks on Thursdays), I'll be looking for rides to Abq. Typically will need to be there around 8 or 9 am, and stay about 6 hours. So, if you have some shopping to do and don't mind dropping and picking me at Presbyterian, please let me know.

thanks.
Cheri
