well went back for #3 and neutrophils, wbc and platelets were all too low for chemo...the acupuncture has definitely helped with the nausea and overall bad feeling...but obviously hasn't brought those up yet... got another Neulasta shot yesterday and yep headache from hell started up less than 8 hours later.. stopped for acupuncture on my way home and seemed to help a bit with the headache... HOWEVER
on the good news front after only TWO sessions of chemo my CA 125 markers are down to 44!!! (from an initial high of 1580)... the doc is over the moon about that and tbh so am i...they have a CT scheduled for May 14th and IF it shows what they expect it to show based off those numbers they are looking at possible surgery either the first or second week of June...

Wow! High ten MommaCandy!

@mommacandy It's great to hear that the acupuncture has helped with the nausea and that the CA-125 numbers went down so much. Is another chemotherapy infusion scheduled before your surgery date? Hoping for good news for you on May 14 on your next CT.
