I switched oncologists. I switched to the son of my old Dr. He is younger and seems a lot more open minded. I had my first apt with him on Tuesday and even though my CA-125 is up again he was very kind and encouraging. He and I discussed chemo and the horrible side affects I had. He told me that the chemo that I was on is the nastiest chemo there is and that he wasn’t surprised that I didn’t handle it well. He said that he understood that I would want to have a quality of life and be a mom instead of suffering especially since there was no guarantee that the chemo would help me. He said that he is fine with me going through the summer doing what I am doing and then running another CT and blood draw. His nurse called me that afternoon and told me that my numbers are up to 130 and that if I wanted to be seen sooner for any symptoms just to call. They didn’t make me feel pressured though which I appreciated. I of course called Mark and he reassured me that as long as I’m under 200 right now that he’s still confident. So my intentions are to get back on my strict strict diet as I have been slacking a little and keep doing what I’m doing. I see Mark on Friday and hopefully I will get on bioidentical hormones in the next few days. I am hopeful for the future.
