Mayo Update

I just heard from John.

The evaluation is still underway but he called to let everybody know that the results of the blood tests from last evening looked good.

She has gained five pounds.

The doctor asked Mom whether she noticed any ascites fluid buildup and Mom said she did not.

The CA-125 marker is a blood test the doctors use to assess how the treatment is working. High CA-125 marker levels are bad. When Mom first arrived at the Mayo Clinic, her CA-125 marker was close to 500. This month the CA-125 marker is down to 6.3. It was 6.3 last month too.

The doctor also mentioned that the surgery option may be revisited.

When they finish up with Dr. Preema, they will head over to Desk 10 South and check in for her chemotherapy appointment.
