Hi, Molers.
My cancer markers had been going up, so I had been anticipating low dose
taxol and herceptin soon. Someone gave me an article about supplements
called MGN-3; its made from Japanese or Chinese mushrooms. I've been taking
8 a day for about 10 days and then had a new tumor marker. They had been
97, 104, 124....and then after the MGN3, 102. I hope this is the beginning
of a trend. I think they sell the stuff as boosting natural killer cells.
I will let you know about the next marker next month.
Right now, I am continuing about the same. I am tired, still having trouble
with an upset stomach and occasional throwing up. I found a lovely doctor
at Sloan who is going to do my stereotactic...if I need it. He wants to
wait a few weeks until closer to Thanksgiving...he says I might not need it.
When I get it together, I am going back to my doctor at Sloan. My husband
has arranged with his boss to even take one day off a week...he'll make it
up on Saturday. And right now, there's no indication I'll need that much
time.
Otherwise, we are having a lovely, if cold Fall...and I am very tired of
having no hair. In the course of all the nausea and vomitting, I lost 30
pounds...Clothes fit that never fit before; at least I can't remember when!
Love, Hugs and Prayers to all,
Martha
P.S.: The lady who told me about the MGN3 runs our local pet shop. I
bought a parakeet; we named it Ralph. I left the lady a note of thanks and
for the big Mollucan Cockatoo, Winston, that I always go to visit, I bought
a piece of pizza. They said it loves cheese.
