Did I Really Forget?

I know this great group of women on Facebook. They are ovarian or gynecologic cancer survivors from the US, UK and Canada. We share a lot with each other and not just about this crazy cancer journey.

This morning when I checked in with the group, one of the ladies was saying how she had blood work done and has to wait till Nov 27th for the results. I thought to myself " Wow that's a long time to wait." I even commented on the page how I hate having to wait for test results. And then it dawned on me that I never got my CA-125 result when I had my port flush done in October. I can't believe that I actually forgot to call and get the result. And the other amazing thing is that I haven't worry about it either.

I got off the computer , called the nurse help line at my cancer center and left a message telling them that it was not am emergency but asked for them to call back my cell with the results. Sure enough a short time later the nurse called and said my CA-125 was 11.0. GREAT! My results have been between 10.2 and 11.8 since last August so I am really happy with the 11.0. Well within the range of error for the test.

I'm still amazed that I made it almost a month without needing those results. I think life has just been too darn interesting to worry about what my test results are. Now I get to wait until December for my doctor visit for the next official "All Clear!".

Every Day is a Blessing ! I am blessed by my Facebook survivors group and hope one day to actually meet the UK contingent in person.
