Day one, round three of topotecan today. My CA125 has dropped almost 800 points from 3 weeks ago! This is the first drop in almost a year. Who would have thought that a CA125 of 2740 would sound good?! Down from 3528 last time. I see my doc tomorrow, and I hope he is as encouraged as I am. I will have another CT scan soon, and we will have an even better idea if my lymph nodes are surrendering to the Topo.
I am gonna beat this sucker!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Jennali! Hope it keeps going down down down.

Wow!! That's some drop! Sounds good to me!
Jennali, I am so so happy for you!!!! This is wonderful news!!! I have and will continue praying for you.
That is so great!!!! You are on a roll, so just keep on going!
Thanks, ladies. We just got home from day 2 of chemo and a doctor visit. Actually just saw his nurse practitioner today. She agreed that the CA125 drop is a very good sign. I am scheduled for a CT scan on the 22nd. That will give the Topo 3 full rounds to work some magic.
I have been trying my utmost to stay positive, but seeing that CA125 number climb and climb was getting discouraging. I am feeling more hopeful now than I have in a long time, and that's a good feeling!
That is so great. Can't imagine a better feeling than having that number go down. Looks like you won't have to have the rdiation after all. I finished my radiation and find out the results in six weeks. A long time to wait.

WOW, I am with you on Topo, day 3 of round 2 for me, after my first round my CA125 dropped also, not as much as yours but encouraging just the same. We will kick some butt on Topo!!!!!!!!

Great news! I hope that topotecan is just the thing for you!
Oh my, that is better news that getting a truckload of Godiva followed by winning the lottery.
It is a happy happy thing to read and you have to be thrilled.
I dunno...that Godiva chocolate and winning the lottery sounds pretty darn tempting, lol!
So pleased to hear your news. Jennali. You give us all renewed hope by telling us how you are doing.
Keep strong everyone.
Loving support
