That's incredible, Carrie. I like your strength! What medical treatment are you taking for the peritoneal carcinoma?

None at the moment; I have an appt in 2 days to possibly start Gem/Abrax again. I only had 2 infusions a month ago and my white blood cells went down too far. I also experienced a lot of fatigue. I am considering not continuing the infusions as I have little pain and value feeling good every day. At 85, that's major. Also, I have not had a C-19 (?) since my last one at approximately 900; I'll be requesting that before my decision.
Marie, I read all your postings and admire your perseverance and optimism so much. Were I a younger woman, I would hope to be like you. Carrie
