So I was supposed to have an infusion yesterday but when I went in to see the doctor after having lab work drawn, it turns out that my white blood cell counts were too low and so we have had to delay it until next Monday. So that has simplified this week a little bit for me because there were a few things that I wasn't sure if I would be able to do or not depending on how I was feeling after the infusion. The doctor was pleased to hear that my pain has gone down a lot though and my blood pressure was back to normal - it has been too high lately.

This morning I got a note from my doctor saying she was super happy that my ca-125 number dropped so much. So I went out and looked at the lab results and my ca-125 has dropped from 2002 (3 1/2 weeks ago) to 284. That is a really good sign that the carboplatin is doing its job!
