As I endure another round of chemotherapy this week, I continue to visualize the little cancer ass kicking ninjas working overtime. They have been. I had some blood tests done earlier this week. One includes the "sitting on the edge of your seat CEA levels". For those of you who are thinking WTF? CEA levels measure the tumor/cancer activity in my body. In just a few weeks, my levels dropped from 55.1 to 21!! Woo hoo! If this keeps up, and my levels continue to drop, I will most likely finish up treatment and then can go on a "systemic chemo break", and would just be closely monitored should my levels ever begin to increase.
So...besides feeling a little fried, I am in good spirits and have been able to keep an appetite. My weight fluxuates before, during, and after treatments. I need to post some recent pics that feature my "just because I have cancer doesn't mean I can't still look fabulous" pixie haircut. Takes me less than two minutes to style, and zoooom I am out the door!
ALSO...for those of you who are interested in attending the 3/22 Team Fabulous Glamorous Gala at the McLean Gardens in DC...there is still plenty of time to RSVP! Here is the link to the sendomatic invitation which includes all of the details:

Besides raising money for a great cause, it's also a perfect excuse to wear that fabulous cocktail dress that is collecting dust in your closet. And boys....you know you have been just waiting for the perfect occasion to sport that fancy tie with lobsters or anchors all over it!
Hope to see you there!
