Feeling Great!

So happy to report this has been a great week!  It has been a busy one filled with

shopping, dinner out with childhood neighbors, Elaine, Frenchie and Andrea, preparing for my niece Amber's surprise 35th birthday party and condo/townhouse shopping!!!
Wednesday I had my doctor's appointment with my NP Eva, she is wonderful.  I got many questions answered and was so excited to get my most recent CA125 results.  Here's the trend, keep in mind, <35 is normal:
Pre-surgery  1511.3 YIKES!
5-4-11              95.9
6-1-11              26.4
6-22-11            16.1  WOO-HOO!!!!!
I am over the Moon!!!
Thursday morning began Cycle 3, week 1, pre-meds Benedryl, Aloxi, Decadron, then Taxol 30mins, Carboplatin 30mins, and Avastin 60mins!
So far very little reaction, just trouble staying asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night, that would be from the steroids I take post chemo for three days.  My chemo nurse Katie said I've already experienced the worse in the beginning, hopefully nothing will bother me now!!!  I feel GOOD!! 
Amber's birthday was a huge surprise and we had a great time!  Love you Amber!
John is busy getting his road and mountain bikes back in rideable condition, enjoying daily rides in the beautiful weather we've been having.  
Hope you are having a wonderful summer, too!! Thanks for checking in!
