Hi Taz (Joann), thank you for thinking of me. It's so appreciated. yes chemo is working. Cancer Markers are way down. Ca125 is now in normal range but CEA is not quite there. I will have markers tested again after number 8 and hope that CEA will be normal too (when I started chemo it was over 100). They reduced the potency of the chemo to low dose bc full dose was making me so sick and put me on a weekly schedule. But unfortunately for me, I guess it's just in my makeup, that chemo makes me sick no matter what, even if I take anti-nausea. Thank you for saying you love my name. So this is my secret. It's actually my daughters name. It's welsh in origin, since both my family and my husband have welsh backgrounds. It is a derivative of Branwen - the welsh goddess of love and beauty. Direct translation meaning "fair and blessed". She is the absolute most singular amazing thing that has happened to me in my life and I feel blessed to have her. I had her, then 8 months later a radical hysterectomy because of cancer. She encapsulates the name to the utmost with her strength and beauty. I know this is the ramblings of a mother, but the universe knew I needed her. She is only 8 but is an old world soul. I truly believe she has been here before many times. She just has an innate sense of wisdom and knowing that most 8 year olds don't (not even my boys and they are both older). Ok ok I know .... Lol, I'm all teary now. Let me introduce myself properly Joann, hello my name is Faith. Blessings Xxxx
