Today I had to get up warly to catch the taxi to my doctor appointment to sit there from 7:am-4:30pm. I was hooked up to that medicine pump getting cisplastim pump into through my PIC ( two plastic tubes that hangs out of my artery two inches away from my heart.). I brought my lap top with me today thinking that I was going to get bored sitting there for all those hours but I fell asleep most of the time, I guess it was the benadral i guess thats how you spell it. But there I was sittting in the lazy boy like medical lounger chair sleeping with my head hung over and drool soaking my shirt. The nurses are great about not pestering you and waking you up, they pretty much understand us cancer patients that we are usually extreamly fatigue and dont want to be woken up. The lab work results is one of the first things I like to hear about when I et there to my appointment, mostly I want to hear about the CA-125 ( It's the count of cancer cells that my body has in it. ). The nurse told me today that a normal persons CA=125 count is 0-30 and that my CA-125 count today was 15. Isn't that great news?! Yes, yes it is! Because my CA-125 count when I first started my treatment back up again here on the Big Island was 1285. Isn't that a mind blower? From 1285 to 15! I'll take that number any day over the previous one! Well I'm done for tonight time to sleep, the chemo is kicking my butt.
Goodnight and God bless! until nest post!
