Wyoming

We had good travels – found we really liked San Francisco, it’s beautiful and fun and has a unique sense of grace and style that sets it apart from other cities – but are glad to be home, too. Our flights home were pleasantly boring other than flying through a thunderstorm on the way home and pitying the poor out-of-staters who never have to ride our little puddle-jumper planes. They were rather green around the gills and one poor fellow (tough, outdoorsy type, coming to spend a week camping and fishing here) had to make rather expedient use of the airsickness bag. Made me feel tough, even though I too was approaching queasiness. =)

One thing of note: I finally found out my CA-125 and it is down. (457 before chemo, 349 after a couple chemo doses). Although not a huge drop, it is, of course, good news and is actually rather surprising to my healthcare team. Even a rise in CA-125 is considered normal after starting Doxil because it simply takes awhile to work, if it’s going to at all. So we are cautiously optimistic about that.

Life’s good though. It’s good to be home, nice to hear only quiet farm sounds without the constant rush and roar of traffic and people. A person forgets how beautiful it is here until they return. Guess it’s good to leave once in awhile so you don’t keep taking it for granted.
