Good morning all!
I've been to 3 different doctors getting opinions about what to do and which treatment will be best for where I am now. A CT scan of my chest (done this past Tuesday) was clear! As a result, I am eligible for surgery and chemo again. I have chosen to change doctors.
I will be having surgery sometime in the next 3-4 weeks @ Mercy Medical Center. The surgical oncologist there specializes in rare and unusual tumors of the abdomen. He has been very encouraging and feels that I should respond well to this treatment. He told me I was young (Love it!) and healthy and should do very well.
Please continue to keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you all. Till next time...:-) Bets

Phase Two
Hi all!
I know it's been a while since I"ve written anything in the blog, but there was nothing new to report. The spring was good with my energy returning, my CA125 @ 2 or 3 every other month, and no evidence of disease.
About a month ago I started to experience minor intermittent discomfort in the abdomen. Nothing was consistent, and I thought it was scar tissue from all the surgery I had been through one year ago. (Yes it has been a year in May since this all began!)
Needless to say, I returned to the doctor and had an MRI and some blood work done last week. My CA125 remains @ 3, but the MRI showed tumor grow in my abdomen. It doesn't appear to be invading any organs at this point. That's a good thing! So I will begin again in this fight to overcome this insidious disease.
Please keep the Rekus family in your prayers. I don't know when things will happen, but I will be going through surgery and chemo again. I know the power of prayer will get us through this again! Thanks.
