In remission

It’s official!  My CA125 level - the blood marker for ovarian tumours - is already back to normal and there was absolutely nothing of interest on the CT scan.  So I really am in remission - what a great Christmas present!  I feel like I’m starting to see daylight again.  Round 3 of the chemo […]
