Wow! @mommacandy , that drop in the CA 19-9 is remarkable. Fabulous news! Hope things remain as positive as they look right now.

@markymarkfl , glad all is going well for you. Ritalin? Hm. I hadn't thought about that. I have a little chemo brain these days. Mostly, I word-search; it takes me a while to retrieve the word or phrase I'm looking for. Hopefully the med continues to help you!

@ncteacher , (un?)fortunately, I'm still working full-time, and 3 mugs of coffee were no longer getting me through the day. A neurologist and a palliative oncologist both told me Ritalan could help. They said Ritalin didn't require the steady blood levels other ADD/ADHD meds do, so I could just take it on days I need it and it wouldn't keep me awake all night if I take it before noon. Seems about right so far. I might have been a straight-A student if this stuff existed 45 years ago!
