Thank you Celena! It dropped by 23% so according the oncologist no chemo. I am going to call them tomorrow and see if I can get the metho. at least b/c if not I can't afford getting all the weekly blood draws. It will be any where around $150 per blood draw. Even after I reach neg. they still want me to do 3 weekly, and then some for every other week, and then once a month. So right there alone I am looking at 12 blood draws if I am neg on Mon. Still haven't heard anything on my appeal for my insurance. Still waiting for the date so I can go in there and actually file for the appeal. I don't think I will be getting my blood drawn on Monday like I am supposed to. I guess I am going to have to go the redneck way and buy $1 tests to check til I am neg. I may get it done 1x a month just to make sure it doesn't go up. I may ask to get one more blood draw tomorrow since it is the last day I will have my ins.

My goodness! I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. I wish your numbers were dropping faster, but at least they are coming down.

It just seems like it is taking forever! I will probably go insane if I am not neg. by my edd. I mean to technically be pg for that long and not bring home a baby would probably push me over the edge. Hopefully I will be neg. by then. If I am not I can say bring on the pills b/c I won't be a pleasant person to be around.
