Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May your days be very happy
May your life be free from cares.
May Saint Patrick ask Our Blessed Lord
To answer all your prayers.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope you all enjoyed a fun weekend celebrating! Jane and Randy went to Mickey's for dinner with Joe and Linda Leu on Saturday night. They were lucky enough to get a window booth so they could watch people on the street while drinking their green beer.

Jane has spent the last couple of weeks resting and recovering. She's been feeling good and getting her energy back after her stint in the hospital. Today presented us with some great news. Jane had her third round of chemo and before it got started, she had her labs drawn. Her CA-125 level was down to 18! (CA-125 is a protein that serves as a marker for tumors. It doesn't tell us much on its own, but is a tool to monitor progress.) When Jane first received her diagnosis, her level was over 150 (maybe even higher, we can't remember for sure), and under 35 is considered normal. It doesn't mean she's cancer free, but it's another sign that the chemo is working! Today's news gave Jane great encouragement, and she was feeling good after getting chemo this afternoon. Next chemo is scheduled for three weeks, along with a CT scan to track how the remaining nodules are doing (hopefully they're smaller)!

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. Keep sending them for later this week as the chemo starts working its magic--and making Jane suffer the side effects. She needs your positive vibes and all of the extra energy you can send her way. Love to you all!
