                                                                           Here is the house monster Buddy

       

      I got my ca125 result from the 6th and last chemo which is 14 and the one before was 15 . the one before that was 12 so it seems my ca levels are sticking to 12-15 level . I would love it to go down to below 4 as it seems to me that may be some robust cancer cells , not ready to die yet !

       

      However I feel better and put some music on and getting on with my mountain of imp and unimp papers and bills and long neglected chores !! it feels good to be useful again ! and the Sun is shining too !!

       

      To all my sisters a lovely day ,a happy day  a healthy day .

       

      Lots of hugs !!
