3 down, 13 to go!

Today I completed my third chemotherapy infusion. It went as well as the first two (aside from having to start late because they were running behind) and had the additional bonus of my mom being there so that we could chit-chat and catch up in an uninterrupted way.

My numbers, according to my doc, are fantastic. I asked about the CA 27.29 and mine is an 11 (down from 44.4 - normal is 0-38). Hurrah! This marker can be very unreliable but they look for trends and the downward trend is definitely confidence inspiring. My blood counts also look excellent (to keep this up, I will go in for a Neulasta shot tomorrow).

More later, when I have more time. Love to all!
