Re: Update from TriciaK
Tricia,
It's so nice to hear from you. I have been wondering how you were doing and was hoping you would post soon. I'm sorry to hear about that darned UTI and having to stop your chemo for now...but this too shall pass as they say. What a trooper you have been...you just keep pushing forward and I know it hasn't been easy.
That is great news to hear your CA27.29 dropped in half after just the 1st dose of Halavan. I'm sure it dropped double or more with the 2nd dose.  That will teach those buggers to mess around with you!  Sorry to hear you had to temporarily stop your chemo, but it won't be long before you get your strength back. If you were that weak your body was screaming for a break...so hang in there.
Are you in the Guinness book of world records for having 46 grandkids?! lol My goodness Tricia...that makes me smile AND tired at the same time. HA. By the way...BIG Congratulations on your new grand baby. I'll be keeping positive thoughts for you...big hug coming your way.
Chelee
