Starting my 52nd year

What a nice way to start another year of life.  I have gotten so many well wishes for my birthday - who knew I had so many friends!  Thanks so much to all of you.  I finished my round of chemo yesterday and got a couple pints of blood - all is looking well.  I should start to get stronger as the chemo effects wear off in a few weeks. I'll get a CT scan and MRI to ensure nothing is growing and then I'm in "monitor" mode.  Let's hope I stay in the mode for a long time.

Nothing Found

Had an MRI of my brain and spine last week - Doc today told me they found nothing.  This explains why I'm a spineless blithering idiot!  When I'm slow to find my words, just remember that I'm pulling them out of my elbow.


Good news though, no signs of cancer in either brain or spine.  I'm getting chemo this week, then off to Alaska, then chemo again - hopefully last one.  Doc will then have a full scan done to check for cancer hiding away.  I don't think there is any though.

My CA-125 (cancer marker) is still 7.  yipee!

Keep up all the good thoughts and prayers.  Something is working.
thanks.
