Ups & Downs

Mom did have chemo today. Her labs looked pretty good; however, we found out late this afternoon that her CA125 is quite high - 4,238. We will get more information about this from Dr. Warren on Monday.

Mom is trying to eat and has maintained her weight for a week now, but she weighs 15 pounds less than she did a month ago. She has a day or two where she feels a little better, then a day or two where she has a lot of nausea and feels worse. Mom says it feels like she takes one step forward and two steps back.

Sometimes it is hard to know for sure what to make of the situation, but Mom's chin is still up and her sense of humor remains intact. She is such a trouper!
