Yesterday, I had my second treatment with Avastin. It was totally uneventful, which is the way we like it. However, we received good news from Dr. Hudhud. My CA-125 has dropped. In August the number jumped to 85, and a new tumor appeared... but now the CA-125 has dropped to 59. While this still isn't in the normal range, it is a significant drop, which leads us to believe that the cancer cells are getting under control again.
I'm scheduled for a new PET scan on October 1, so by the end of that week when we meet with the oncologist, he should have some news about the tumors. By the time of the PET, I will have had another treatment with Doxil (next Friday will be the second treatment) and three treatments with the Avastin.
Keep praying... we believe our Father hears your prayers. We are strengthened by your many emails and cards.
