I just saw the tumor marker result from today’s bloodwork. 425!!! Down 335 from last month’s 755. That means Taxol is working to shrink those dang tumors! That doesn’t mean I’m out of the woods yet but it’s great news!
I started my 4 week cycle on Taxol today. I also saw Dr. Buys who is so supportive and caring! She thinks the tumors are shrinking because my abdomen isn’t so swollen and I’ve quietly thought the same thing. She said her entire team has been so worried about me. I have so much support coming from all sides, I’m so grateful! I just needed that “magic bullet” that would get things back in control.
We sold our travel trailer that was such a blessing to us after my diagnosis. We got to go on those long trips all over the country and into Canada twice. We determined that our days for far away road trips was over. This last trip to California showed me that, even flying to get there was so stressful for me. We’ll do an occasional one-nighter closer to home. I decided we have to go to more local plays and musicals too, more fun things close to home.
Maddie is getting married in a month, which we are thrilled about! She had her final dress fitting today. We went down to see it on her. I offered her my Moms wedding dress because it was handed down to me (by default-none of my sisters wanted it) My Mom was 5 ft 10 in and skinny as a rail when she wore it. Maddie is 5 ft 1 in, so some adjustments had to be made. She’s very happy with the finished product - it’s beautiful on her! I guess Mat took all the pictures, or I would post one here.
