things are going really well.  It's hard to imagine that in January I thought it was the beginning of the end but now we are both looking forward to the cruise.  Teresa's CA125 count has come down from the high of 1500 to 150.  Happy Dance....this Wednesday she has a CAT scan so as always prayers and good thoughts are requested.  I love her new doc.  She is just so great.  Sometimes we have to wait a long time to see her but she never rushes through an appointment.  She really listens regardless of if what's being said is relevant to Teresa's health or not because to her IT'S ALL RELEVANT.  I would pray that no one ever needs a gyn onc but should you - Dr. Marta Crispen at Vanderbilt is the best.  Teresa's other doc was always rushing and never seemed to really listen, just ready to see the next customer.  That is the way it felt and I hated going with Teresa to doctor appts because I felt like I annoyed the doctor with my questions.  But Dr. Crispin is just fantastic.  We are so lucky to have found her and to live in Nashville with such a great cancer center.  And how are things in your life Jana?  I hope all is well.  Thanks for asking.

I am enjoying it.  We both are.  And the living room is no longer set up as a sick room.  I moved things around to accommodate tray tables and we had a huge pile of pillows and other sundry things to make things easier for Teresa. Little by little I have been making small changes but it was time to totally deconstruct the sick room. It's nice having a living room .  It's really nice having Teresa back again.  She even has gone back to volunteering at the last library she worked for.    Celebrate good times....

Good things are happening - Teresa's chemo is working.  Her CA125 count went from the 1500s to the 500s.  We are celebrating.  And on to happy thoughts all around as we get closer to the trip - ok we're not that much closer but I'm thinking positive here.

Thanks for the good cheer Donna.  Very excited to see you and Val again on this trip.  It is hard to celebrate when there are so many others suffering.  One of the amazing things about Olivia is that you get to meet the most wonderful people all over the country and outside the country.  The tough part is that you have friends that you know are hurting but are so far away when you want to help.  Tracie and I are thankful that things are going well but feel so bad for others.  Only thinking good thoughts for all . . . .
