Journal entry by Liz Busse —
Sue is now officially in remission!
She had another CT scan and more bloodwork last week which all came back looking great. The CT showed no signs of any cancer and her CA 125 blood marker was still very low at 11. Her oncologist gave her the news that this means she is now in remission.
The plan going forward is to check this blood marker every 3 months. It has proven to be a good indicator for her cancer and is much more sensitive than a CT scan.
As you can imagine, Sue and her family are all extremely happy and relieved with this news. Sue’s focus now is on treatments and physical therapy to help improve her neuropathy and balance, something the chemo really impacted. And, of course, enjoying life, time with family, the warm weather, and future travel!
Thank you to everyone here for all your support and love you’ve shown Sue. It certainly means a lot. I will continue posting here, but only for more significant updates, so if you want to ‘follow’ the site it should email you when a future post happens.
Much love,
Liz
