Tears of gratitude and celebration

Yesterday our family doc called to say that Peg's CA-125 levels were down to 33.

This is big, and welcome, news.  

CA-125 is a marker for ovarian cancer. When Peg had her surgery on June 23, her levels were at 125.  Just three weeks ago, before the second chemo, they spiked at  178.  

Now they're at 33... below 20 is considered normal.

We're grateful for all your love and support.  You have nourished us with your presence, food, prayers and phone calls.  Things are heading in the right direction!
