I had a neurological MRI today. My neurologist had suggested I stop my daily shot of MS medicine when I started chemo. He thought that maybe the chemo would continue to work as well as the MS drug. It's been six months, so we will see what's happening. I'm not too worried.
While we were waiting for the scan, the oncologist walked by. He asked if his assistant had called me with my latest CA19-9 numbers (which she had this morning). The number is 1036. Not up much from the last one. I count that as good. Hopefully the next one will go down, with consistent dosing. It also correlates with the fact that I have had some growth activity.
So the scan and the numbers are pretty consistent with each other. Somehow that gives me a sense of comfort. That sounds kind of strange and I can't really explain it.
Wed is my last day working. It will be bitter sweet.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

We'll miss you around here, but know you have more important numbers to crunch. -ee
It's bitter for us--you are leaving a big hole that can't be filled.
I can understand getting comfort with your numbers matching activity--if anything it gives a sense that even though you're on a ride you can't stop, you at least have a handle on what's going on things--sort of like the difference of the haunted house ride where things jump out of the dark and scare the crap out of you and the mine shaft ride where you pretty much know what's going to happen and there are no big surprises--if that makes any sense.
