Friends and family. As we approach Thanksgiving I am sad to report that after months of positive news of my tumor markers dropping, my body has decided it's not digging this treatment and they have now spiked back to original levels (from back in May). This is incredibly discouraging, but we have a new plan. I started injections last week to shut down my ovaries (most importantly shutting down estrogen production). Next Friday I will start a new (second) chemo. While this is not the news we were hoping for, it's also not uncommon. Heather and I remain confident in my clinical team and hopeful the new treatment plan will improve my status. As always, I encourage you all to take a moment to be thankful of of the people in your lives. I know this Thanksgiving will be especially important to us, as we celebrate with the Dooley family. I am sad to not be with my immediate family, spread out from SC to VT to TX to us in WA. I also know our tight family bond will continue to bridge the challenges of distance. Head up, positive thoughts as I continue to enjoy and appreciate every day I have. Be Thankful and have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving 🦃
