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.
Bets

Hey Betsy, Just to let you know I'll continue to pray for you and the guys. How odd that you should blog again, as the friend at my church who had pancreatic cancer, lost his battle yesterday. He had a great 2 years and will be greatly missed. I'll keep up with your blog and as I said I'll continue to pray. God Bless and heal you. Kathy
