Life goes on...

It has been three months since my last chemo session.  I thought everything was going well at first, but seven weeks ago, my numbers (ca-125, the cancer tumor marker) started going up.  At that time it had only gone up by 10 points and it was "wait and see".  They did another test last Monday and it had gone from 41 to 79.  When the doctor gave me that information, she told me that any time it doubles from the lowest point she becomes concerned.  Now I am scheduled for a CT scan next Tuesday and to get the results on Wednesday, but when I went to pick up the contrast they told me the insurance may require me to wait for an additional day. That would not be good because my doctor only has clinics on Monday and Wednesday but I will do whatever I have to.  I just hope that the necessary treatment is not too bad because I have already been through so much. But I look at it this way...When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  I'm just tired of all the lemons I have been getting.
