Had chemo treatment #4 yesterday and all went well. (Have decided to forego the Benadryl next time though as it gives me restless leg syndrome and the nurse said that at this point I am highly unlikely to have an allergic reaction to the chemo drugs.)
Feeling good so far, but that is normal for day 2. Chemo effects will probably kick in tonight or tomorrow. (Thank you for your prayers!) EDIT: Stomach just started hurting right after I posted this! Not sure why -- hope it's not the chemo kicking in so early!
The BEST news is that I got my bloodwork results and my CA125 (Cancer Antigen 125) level is now within "normal" range. Before my surgery it was 120, right before treatment #2 it was 109, right before treatment #3 it was 50, and right before this last treatment it was 11!
Praise God! The CA125 is not a perfect indicator, but a very good indicator that my chemotherapy treatments are working. My doctor was VERY happy, and so are we!
Jesus is so kind and loving and merciful and awesome and trustworthy and praiseworthy. I praise You and thank You, my Lord and Savior, my wonderful God, for all You have done and are doing in my life. I Love You!
And, as always, thank you my friends and family for your love and prayers. You lift me up and I love you, too!
