Latest News Regarding Tumor Markers

Teresa just got off the phone with Dr. Gupta. The conversation was not what we were hoping for. Her CA 27-29 report came back and her marker had increased from 1300 to 1600. He basically said that the Taxol was not doing its job and he was going to pull the big guns out with a strong regiment. So, beginning 7-10 days after surgery on Friday, she will begin with a combination of drugs that he called T.A.C. The T.A.C. will be given once every 3 weeks. Obviously, we are all upset about this news. She has been feeling good and we were hoping for a better report. Please keep her in your prayers. Tomorrow at 7:00 a.m she will start prepping for ovaries being removed on Friday. At this point, we can only hope and pray that the new drugs will work more effectively than the Taxol and that her body can withstand the treatments. Rob
