All counts are now normal, or as close to normal as they can be given all the chemo Nanc has gotten since June. So her treatment today is proceeding as scheduled and she's already about 1/3 of the way through her 15th infusion with no major pain like she had a few times previously!
15 down and 3 to go...
Updated liver enzyme scores to compare to last week's:
ALP 125
ALT 70
Cedars labs use different thresholds than what I posted yesterday. They like the ALP to be <125 and the ALT to be <53. So you can see they're a tad on the high side but certainly less of a concern as they were last week.
On another note, Nanc was asked to participate in a Quality of Life Study for ovarian cancer patients. The study is designed to help women manage the physical and emotional issues related to ovarian cancer and after-care. Not sure if she'll do it yet
It's interesting to start hearing words like after-care and remission all of a sudden. I say interesting but that doesn't do it justice. Having been through so much these past months, it's almost unbelievable to be hearing words like that.
I am not sure either of us trust them just yet though. I know Nanc doesn't for sure. It's the other foot syndrome if you know what I mean. You get so used to just trusting the present moment that anything else becomes a huge 'whatever'...
In other words, that's good news but I'll believe it when we get there. Not that she will work any less at getting better or fight any less. There is hope and there is faith. But most if that is here and now, not tomorrow, next week, next year or 5 years from now.
Does that make any sense? I hope so cause it sure makes sense to me ;-)
