Finally....
Mom has had several chemo treatments now and was becoming discouraged again. She feels bad most of the time and none of the treatments have been working.
The doc has been monitoring her CA125 which is a blood test that measures ovarian cancer. Under 35 is considered normal. When mom had her surgery, hers was close to ten thousand.
After her surgery, and all during the chemo treatments the count has stayed well over 7000. Not good.
Friday, mom called, and was very excited. The nurse had just called and given her some good news for a change. Her count has gone down to around 2000. Still not a good number overall, but for someone who has consistently stayed in those high numbers, 2000 is a very good number.
The first thing mom said was, "The prayers, all of our prayers are working!"

I'm so glad she got some good news and that she's optimistic. My prayers are with you, too.
Great news! I am glad to hear the chemo seems to have kicked into gear. 2000 is a MUCH better number than 7000. All my best to your mom. She has my prayers.
The good news will make her stronger. I hope you all get lots more.
