More Good News From Julie

I got my blood tests results back today from the nurse at my cancer doctor's office. My CA125 number was 8. When they determined that I had cancer it was a 225. At the end of chemo it was 39. The normal range should be about 25 or less. It isn't always a good indicator because many things can cause fluctuations, but for me it is something they can use. So anyway, just wanted to share the good news!

From Julie - Check Up

I had a check up today (March 12) and everything looks good. They couldn't give me the results of my blood test until next week though. Hopefully that will show good low numbers in the CA125 test (the one that for me was elevated prior to chemo treatment - it's not always a useful test and that is why they don't give it to women commonly.) The image they saw on the CAT scan done in December was gone now, which was what the doctor had been hoping for. She says it was just some fluid left over from the surgery. She did tell me that I have to exercise for longer periods of time, so now I have to make sure I get up earlier in the morning...fun!
