Can't Sleep

Joseph and I went out to dinner and getting old and senile at the same time I ordered flavored tea. Forgetting that me drinking tea late is like coffee so here I am not able to sleep, so I'll blog. I called the doctor for my CA125 marker numbers. They were terrible. Again a record high. 271. I cried. I just need prayers to be going up for me to take the right direction. I don't know which way to go. I will be talking to the CTCA in Zion on Monday. I don't know if I will wait until two weeks without doing anything. I also want to talk to them about doing surgery. I would rather get it done at the beginning of summer and be healed by the end, and if I had it soon, I should be okay for the wedding. So just pray that I stay in the Lord's will for all this, that He continues to lead me and direct me. I would love for Him to send me an itinerary that is a little more in depth than He has giving us, but I will continue to do as I feel He is directing me.

The Ride is Scary

Well I am plummeting down on my roller coaster ride. I was in to see the neropathic nutrition specialist, which is just some kind of doctor that talks about supplements and such. She had my blood work in front of her and so I asked her what my CA125 was. It has jumped from a 105 twenty days ago to 205, the highest it has ever been. That brought tears to my eyes immediately. I will see the doctor again tomorrow and then I will find out the plan of action. Pray for a Dr. Williams to make the right choices. I don't know if I will be able to be treated in Wichita Falls with chemo until I will be able to undergo surgery or not. I once again just need the will of the Lord in my life. He knows what is best and He knows the best path for me to take. I need Him to direct my path.

On a lighter side, we did get to go to the top of the Sears Tower yesterday. We saw the outside art gallery in downtown Chicago that is close to the water. At the top of the tower there is nothing but buildings as far as you could see. It is amazing. We saw the L Train but we didn't get out to ride it. To me it wasn't on my "must do" list while here. Joseph might disagree. It was pretty rusty and old looking.

After seeing the Doctor we should know our plans for Friday. As of today we will be heading home on Saturday.

Chemo Day

My CA125 went up a few points last month, from 101 to 105. The doctor says since it flutuates a few points we will just continue the pills. Of course all this is just so that I am not sitting around until we go to CTCA later this month.

Numbers down 2 Points

It's not a lot but it's better than going up. If only the numbers would go down as fast as they go up. Had my CA 125 taken yesterday and the results were: it is now 68. Was 70 four weeks ago, so it went down.

I have only two more treatments of this chemo before I return to MDAnderson and have a CT Scan and all to see if this chemo is doing anything to the tumors. So keep me in your prayers. I know you have and Thanks. Won't find out anything new until March 1st. The tests will be run on the 27th.

The doctor did up my dosage of this chemo so I am feeling a little ill, just took a pill and am going to bed. Sleep tight all!
