Just Updating

I am doing ok,  just a little tired from the chemo.  My cancer antigen had crept up to 115 in February but has dropped 25 points with the chemo, so I am at 90 and hoping to continue downward.  They have eliminated the one drug that they think was causing the allergic reaction so I am only being given one chemo drug.  The oncologist says that if I have a reaction to that one or it doesn't work then the only option will be to put me back on the original chemo.  I hope that does not happen.  Other than the chemo fatigue I am feeling pretty good.  I guess I just get used to the neuropathy although after each treatment it feels like someone switched the neuropathy switch on to high.   I have wonderful family and friends who keep me busy and fill my life.  I am grateful.  I have suspended some natural remedies for now but am still drinking my carrot juice.  :):)  And by the way, the rest of my bloodwork is so stellar and my blood recovers so well from the previous chemo each week that the nurse teased me today and asked if I was REALLY receiving chemo. :):):)

  3. PS- I'm reading a new book...thinking of you! It's called "While the World is Still Asleep". I think you would like it-It's about the 1890s and bicycling :-)
