Round 6, Day 2

Yesterday I started round 6 of chemo. He knocked my dose down just a little again, so I can hopefully get through all three treatments in this round. I actually feel pretty good. We will do a scan after this round to see how things are going.

Today, the Dr. office called to tell me my CA19-9 has gone from the 100s into the 900s. Obviously something is growing somewhere. We won't know exactly what is going on until the scan in a couple of weeks. That magic number is not the be-all, end-all, but it can be indicative of activity.

I'm a bit worried now and anxious to get the scan. We'll talk to the Dr. about it at our next appointment on Thursday. In the meantime, I will find things to keep me busy. Today I spent about 1.5 hours weeding along the driveway and some of the flower beds. We have a dog rescue picnic tomorrow and some dog shows coming up. Hopefully the time will go quickly.
