Good News

Hi lovely ladies, I have good news. Today was my five year check up and I am still clear. My CA125 went up again to the grand total of 9. There's no more to say. But of course, I will. Because I'm on a trial I have another check up in 6 months.

Saturday my daughter gave birth to her second son. He was a few days late but the delivery was really quick. He slid into the world weighing 8lb 14oz. There was a slight hiccough when his heart stopped and the crash team had to earn their money. His breathing isn't the best but we're hoping he's sailed through that now and on the mend. We're waiting for the results of a lumber puncture test. They're checking for sepsis. If all okay he'll be home for the weekend to meet his brother.

I'm hoping you are all fairing well but for those of you that are not doing so well, there is plenty of hope. I'm proof of that.

Wishing you all well. Zena xx

I've done nothing special, sticky. I had the op and chemo and didn't drink through that but do drink alcohol again but don't go over the top and make sure I drink 4 pints of water a day. I try to eat healthily but still indulge in chocolate and cake. I walk a fair bit but don't go to the gym except to play badminton twice a month. I live each day as normally as possible. I don't have Avastin I only take senna and dulculate to help with the damage to my bowel. The only thing that's gone wrong is when I got a blocked bowel last November.

I feel like the luckiest person ever and so wish everyone else was lucky too. I just hope that knowing people can survive helps others to know there is hope. I was stage 3C. (I say was now).

Wish you all the best. Zena xx
