Is there such a thing as "good" bad news?

MrsCisco222

This has been quite an ordeal for me, as it has been for everyone. Today was the beginning of week 4 of this process. It was also the day it was confirmed, via bloodwork, that the Methotrexate injection did its job. My levels went from 159 on 3/22 to 75 today. They dropped. My doctor seems satisfied, but wants to continually monitor me until they are at zero. I'm happy that it is finally coming to an end. I want this to be over so I can begin to live my life fully again.

Just wanted to share, because this is the only place people get me. I needed to talk to someone about it. Thanks for being so wonderful throughout this process, ladies. You have all been a God-send.

I know exactly how you feel, in regards to "good" bad news. When I heard of me betas dropping, I had a huge sign of relief. I was actually terrified that they would rise. 

I hope your numbers continue to drop steadily, and you reach zero shortly so you can work on the future.
