okay so we met with einhorn and he tells us if the afp tumor marker has increased not only does cure rate drop (as in, single digit percentages) but we'd have to do it in Indiana and it'd be pricey. if the tumor marker has dropped and drops to zero/normal, it'll be two cycles of the old chemo I had before.
about a few days before brain surgery it was 224.
he took a blood test in Indiana annnnnnd
it's 94! not down to normal yet but that's good news. if it keeps dropping I won't have to do a hell chemo while being certain of death.
ALSO
they were filming a porno next door and my mom was in the room with me and kept saying "oh these strange sounds. shes crying. why doesn't anyone help her

" until I finally said HOLY SHIT THEY ARE FUCKING DO YOU NOT REALIZE THIS.
also it was a porno because you could hear multiple men giving drections and shit it was pretty hilarious until it went on till like 3 am and I had to call the front desk and tell them I HAVE HOSPITAL TOMORROW.
