He just came to see Mom and we asked him about the jump in the CA125 count. He is actually not too discouraged at this point. The CA125 measures protein and chemo causes cells to die, releasing protein. He said taking this marker test seriously is premature and that a more accurate reading would be a month after her chemo treatment. It could acutally be a good sign that the count is up so much right now in that the Doxil may have killed a lot of cancer cells.
Dr. Warren also said Mom's belly feels softer now and has gone down quite a bit, so he wants to have the ng tube clamped for a while tonight. We'll see whether it makes Mom nauseated or not.
We'll keep you posted.
