Well, it's been almost a week since the last CD (chemo day) and Nancy's recovered fairly well. She does tire a little quicker than normal but that is always expected. I had her resting the majority of last weekend of which she did sleep/nap a lot off and on. This is also normal. She did want to go out walking but I had her refrain from that. It's too cold and her immunce system is at a weak point which could open her up for infections/kolds, etc. If she was to ever have a temp over 100 deg's she's supposed to call in. This is not good. Over the past 4.5 yrs that she's been doin' treatments this has never happened. This is a good/positive thing.

Things did turn out good from last week. With her blood markers (also known as C125) rising instead of going down the blood tests that she took prior to the Thursday treatment showed a 20percent decrease. This was positive! It still has us being somewhat concerned since the past treatments she was doing her response time was immediate. After the first treatment the markers (C125) would decrease tremendously. With the markers increasing this time after two treatments left us both feeling quite dismayed (not even a good descriptive word). But you have to take what you get and at this point everything is on a positive note.

The next treament will be on 2/15 which at least lets us have a little fun on Valentine's Day by going out and doin' the deal. So, we'll just have to keep on with what we're doin' and be thankful things are on the up for now.

Well I stated that I wanted to start doing more on this blog.

At this point it's more like my account of what's going on w/Nancy.

We had a really great Christmas! It's always just Nancy & I on Christmas morning. Very intimate, very special for and w/someone special. It's funny 'cuz Christmas Eve was spent just driving around after a movie and eating at a Taco Mayo...what a deal! But that's the way it is w/FancyNancy! She's not a high maintainence person whatsoever. If you knew her you just couldn't help but love her.

But the real deal is that once again in December, just as last year she started chemo treatments again. The only difference this time is that she is not responding to the treatments after having two of them. When she started on the first one on 12/21/06 her blood markers were around 135..extremely high for someone who has been battling this cancer for 4.5yrs on a chemo cycle of every 6-8mos. Well on the last blood work her markers had risen to 250....which means after two treatments they aren't working. Really, really bad news!

So, for further information she is also a 29yr-2 time breast cancer survivor. We're talking about someone who has had to endure two different types of cancer. She is a true warrior of life!!

I think everybody should be able to experience the personality of FancyNancy!
