My last CT scan was on September 29th and I am so happy to report that the tumors in my body continue to shrink!
I continue to go in for bloodwork every 3 weeks to make sure that my WBCs are not too low and to make sure I can start up on another cycle of Chemo medication/Ibrance. My CA 125 has remained steady at a 9 from January to now with a slight decrease to 8 in May. Last April in 2017, my CA was 14. It is staying well below the normal range of 0-35, despite not being a great tracker for my cancer at this time.
I was able to compare to images of my scan in September to the previous CT in June. The measurements of tumors at this time are as follows: 1. Peritoneum: A peritoneal nodule adjacent to the ascending colon measures 1.3 x 1.2 cm, compared to 1.6 x 1.5 cm on the prior exam.

2. Retroperitoneum/R Psoas muscle: Stable to minimal decrease in size of a retroperitoneal nodule adjacent to the right psoas muscle that measures 1.4 x 1.2 cm, compared to 1.5 x 1.4 cm on the prior exam.
Last Spring the doctors were watching at least 7 tumors and now they are only watching 2!!!
I have been feeling much better since having the iron transfusions in August and have continued to work hard on eating as clean as I can, exercising, decreasing my stress, taking lots of immune symptom booster vitamins and using my Rife Machine.

I also decided to participate in the Clean Simple Eats 6 week challenge to see if I could eat better, feel better and loose a little weight. I was really surprised to see and feel so much better when I stuck with the plan. I now love to exercise and am so much happier and stronger now. I have even been able to up my hand weights to 10# compared to 5-8# at the beginning of the year. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but I am proud of how far I have come.
