What a Beautiful Day!

Today is just an awesome day outside. It is in the low 60s, partly sunny with a quiet breeze. Bill and I took our cat, Kira, to the vet. She needs to have her teeth cleaned and needs to lose a couple of pounds. Otherwise, she is doing okay.

I got good news yesterday. My CA19-9 is down to 522. It was 606 a couple of weeks ago. This is the first time it has gone down since October 2009. Let's hope the trend continues.

My voice is still only a whisper. I went to see a speech therapist. She gave me some exercises to help my right vocal chord help compensate for my paralyzed left vocal chord. Up until now, it hasn't made an impact on my voice.

On Tuesday, March 9th, I have an appointment with the oncologist to discuss treatment options and for chemotherapy # 32.

Thank you for all of the prayers. Please continue to pray that the CA19-9 decreases.

Have a good weekend.

Michelle
