I am still feeling the after effects of chemo, namely joint and muscle aches and pains...not what I had counted on at this stage. My ovarian cancer is in remission with a very low tumor marker of 11, (which was 1800 when I was admitted to the hospital in May). I guess we are all hopeful that it will stay low. The Dana Farber Oncologist has given me a better than 50% chance of being cured, meaning no recurrence of the cancer.
However, I am still at risk for breast cancer, since with the BRCA1 gene mutation there is an 80% lifetime chance of my developing breast cancer in my lifetime....the next hurdle awaits.
We are looking forward to the holidays and going to the Galapagos Islands from 12/28-1/9/09. See you next year!!
Happy Holidays and God Bless us all!!
