My client has cancer... in case you didn't know. Today we went for an appointment with her oncologist and he checked her blood as always. Before I tell you the news, I'm going to explain one of the blood tests.
The test is called a CA-125. CA stands for Cancer Antigen. It's a test that records the cancer protein marker in the blood. My client started all of this in January with a CA-125 of 174. That's pretty high. She finally started receiving treatment in the end of July beginning of August. Right now, after her third round of chemo, October 19 2011 her CA-125 is a whopping 10! It's gone down 164 points after 3 chemo rounds! That's amazing! We will know more in a few weeks. We have another round of chemo next week and then a PET scan scheduled to look at the cancer site and see what's going on. We went into this knowing that chemo has a 30-40% chance of being useful. Total praise just for this much to have happened! God is certainly bigger than anything we're dealing with down here!
Love and Prayers, Jen
