Had another CT-scan today... The radiology technician commented when I was through with it that I am by far her quickest patient. I just make sure each time to not wear any clothes that have metal so I don't have to even change for the scans. Once they call me back for the scans I am maybe gone for 5 minutes and then I am on my way back to the Huntsman lab to have my port deaccessed. I told the tech that that is nice to hear, but also sad since that means that I am a regular patient and I have been there enough to learn the system...

Had another 4 week visit yesterday. Everything with my labs looks good except for one of my numbers which has to do with the size of the red blood cells. Apparently mine are a little bigger than they should be and that number in my labs has been going up the last few visits. This can sometimes be linked to anemia, but my iron and calcium levels have been normal. Yesterday they tested my Vitamin B12 levels and they are a little lower than they would like to see so they asked me to start taking an over the counter Vitamin B12 supplement. My CA-125 number went up slightly to 16 but that small of a rise isn't a concern at this point.
