Just a quick update....

My blood test results came back and my hcg was measuring at 1,904.  My doctor is a little concerned at the fluctuation and that the numbers aren't decreasing faster.  If the numbers are still in the thousands for next Mondays blood test, than she will refer me to my Oncologist that is 3 hours away.  (which by the way I just looked up the definition and here it is...)
Oncology: the branch of medical science dealing with tumors, including the origin, development, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant neoplasms.
So that makes sense.   But, I am hoping that the extreme amount of blood flow I had was a boost to get out the rest of the tumor.  I am tired of having pregnant hormones without being pregnant! Thanks again for all the concern and prayers that have been sent this way, I have felt strength from that source.

Thanks for updating us. I'm praying that your next round of blood work is out of the thousands, and on it's way back to normal. Hang in there, dearest. Wish I wasn't so far away, so I could bring you over dinner one night! Love ya!
