More good news, the doctor faxed us the work from 3 days ago, Elaine's Ca125 has fallen to 24. THATS NORMAL !!!!. It indicates the chemo is suppressing the cancer for now. We'll know much more in 5 weeks when we get the next c.t.scan, but i'm very hopeful of it going into remission. Tomorrow i pick up the pathology from UCSF and take it to Stanford to let their smart guys test it and see if they can tell us anything more, at this point it's being called an unusual type of Ovarian cancer.
Elaine is looking and feeling better, i just know she's getting better, at least for a time. We are realistic enough to know that stage 4 , systemic ovarian is really serious but i think we can fight this for years and not months!!!
Marika as always you brought a ray of normalcy and joy into her life today. You make her feel like she can do things. She wants to arrange to go out in service, (probably no more than an hour ) with you really soon, lets make it happen, maybe next week on her off week if you are up for it.
Anita, Betty and Cheryl .E thanks for visiting her yesterday when she wasn't feeling so good.
The meds they give her for nausea actually cause depression, so for 2-3 days after chemo she takes those cos she doesn't want to throw up then she switches to a different med so she can be up enough for the weekend meetings and to chase me around the house ;-)
We have Debbie and Jenna Paseur here , who came all the way from Houston Texas to take care of Elaine for a couple of weeks, what an act of love!!
We'll have to introduce them to "y'all" they want to show you how to do service Texas style. I think it involves a Watchtower and a concealed weapon!!! ;-)
Well that's enough sillyness for now, but as you can tell i am getting my happy back a little.
Hope to see most all of you this weekend, love you miss you , Keith.
