I went for bloodwork yesterday…and guess what??? I have officially met the “normal” range on my CA125!! It is now down to 32! YAY ME!!

Honestly, I AM ANYTHING BUT NORMA!! 😂 …. But I will take this result!

I don’t mean to be selfish and brag about this…but I will as I started out on Jan 6/21 with a CA125 of 13,061😳. I have only found a handful of fellow Teal sisters that had crazy levels like this, and my oncologist has advised levels like this are rare in itself.

I have committed to being a super positive and energetic person throughout this journey, as I feel that positivity and a good attitude will get me a whole lot farther than being depressed and lonely. Believe me, I had some of those days early on, and occasionally still have a dark day or two even now, as I’m sure we all go through this.

I commit to self gratitude, calmness, meditation and various other activities I enjoy to keep me from my dark side for any length of time. I am blessed with this result, I have felt like I have just been running on a schedule of scans, treatments, surgery, and appointments for the past 7 months, and missed out on family gatherings, holidays, and most social events (that were wanted desperately after Covid has made life so distant and lonely).

It was worth it…. My goal was to have my CA125 to within “normal” range at the end of all this…and I’m there now.

Now to set yet another goal….🤔

Such an amazing milestone for you ! Such a daunting number to be given, both your stage and your CA125. I so admire your spirit and attitude. You go girl ! And as my sister always says to me “ well done and keep up the good work” I always feel like a schoolgirl when she says it but I love it. It’s usually because my numbers are good. So well done again.
