Hi Gang 

I’ve just had an email from my oncologist (and I mean just now. Yes, my oncologist emailed me at 10.30pm) with my latest blood test results. This is what she wrote: 

“Dear Daloni

I thought you might want to know that your CA125 has fallen further to 1608 

1 month ago - 4157

2 months ago - 14,392

Wanted to share this good news with you”

I am so pleased to hear this. The CA125 is a blood protein that goes up as the cancer grows and down as it shrinks. Normal is below 35. So while my latest result is still relatively high, the rapid downward trend is what really matters. I’m hopeful that my next scan on April 14 will show stability and possibly even some shrinkage. I think it’s fair to say that the trial drug I’m on is showing promise.

    Over the moon for you Grin I hope the next scan will confirm that the trial drug is working for you.

    You must have a very special relationship with your Oncologist, and no wonder after all you've been through together.

    Lots of love and hugs to you and the girls, and of course Noodle xx

  • How are you with apps Ruth? Have you heard of Echo? And are you in England? 

    You put in what meds you're on, the doses, and when you run out. Then it sends you an alert before you run out, you confirm if you need them or not, and a few days later the postman delivers them to you! It's fulfilled by Lloyd's pharmacy, so it's trustworthy, not random.

    After horrible experiences with my local pharmacy, I switched and I'm very happy with it. 

    Just a thought for folks, especially at the minute!

    Hi Lass 

    that app sounds ideal. I use some controlled drugs. I wonder if they post them? I suspect not.
