Not has drastic of a change from the first time, but my tumor markers have gone from 25 to 11!

I'm hoping that sticking with my diet will help with the bit of pain that is back, but it's definitely good news

What?!?!?

Oh my gosh! That's awesome!!!

And I managed to lose half a pound over christmas/new years lol. I was sure I gained at least the weight if half a cake.

yay!!!

Yay

Ohhhhh yay! That's amazing news!!!

when my mom was going through chemo many articles mentioned cutting sugar helps with that, good job! Also congrats, this is great freaking news!

That's so great, I'm happy for you

You're basically killing your cancer, GOODJOB

That's fantastic news!

you're getting there! So so chuffed for you. You've done so well <3

kesseret: mhms! No sugar, barely any dairy, no flour, and no processed foods for me!

I need to stick with it a bit better though. It definitely isn't easy sometimes.

This is wonderful news.

And thank you everyone!

Yayyy!!!

so good to hear

so much magical food about to be made

MurrMurr:

MurrMurr: stick glitter on it

Can you explain what this means in noob terms? Am I right in thinking its shrinking?

memesaurus: the tumor marker is a type of protein in my blood that my tumor gives off

They check it by drawing my blood every time I'm here. 30 is an acceptable level and 130 was where it was at the first time

So in theory, my tumor is -hopefully- shrinking. Or if anything, not growing

So in theory, cause I'm super curious and I don't know about beans - could you kill the cancer or will it just be so I guess tiny that you will be a forever Amy god

it means Amy is a super hero and kicking cancer in the no no parts

I feel like at the rate she's going it's gonna be gone and that's great! She's working hard and not letting nothing in her way

yaya!

That's amazing news!!!

memesaurus: that's the hope! Unfortunately this cancer has a high rate of reoccurring so I'll probably forever be monitored. But he said I'm doing SO much better on this type of chemo

We should do a fundraiser for a tiny home

LOL I wishhhh, Mark would break up with me if I made him live in one tho

Mark if she can kick cancers ass you can live in a tiny home.

Mark SUPPORT THE TINY HOME DREAMS just don't get it stolen

she agrees that there is a minimum size for a tiny home.. even she wont do 198 sq ft

I talked to my oncologist about visiting England too, he just happens to be English, and he said that it was a fabulous idea

MurrMurr: tiny homes can be 400sq ft tooooooo

so happy!

good to hear good news!

Hopefully you'll soon be in remission and on your adventures. I can't believe how well you've responded, but I'm so glad

I truly believe it has to do with the insane amount of fruits and veggies I've been eating along with the chemo. It just makes such a huge difference.

I'm killing the cancer off and hopefully healing it with better nutrition.

Can the markers go all the way down to 0?

ArianaSz: not quite sure but it seems like levels around 20-30 are normal in most women

I just found this though where they say anything about 65 is a bad prognosis and anything below 20 means improved survival rates

Anything above 65*

I really, really hope this means remission

Me too! I have a CT scan in February and that'll be where we see if the tumors have shrunk at all

this is like seriously the best most awesome news ever!

Congrats!!

this is great news Amy

That is fucking awesome news!

Awesome news!!!!

OMG, I just saw this...this is fabulous news!

Awesome news!

Just saw this, omg, I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
