Treatment started off on a positive note with report of the CEA tumor marker dropping after cycle #1 from 304 to 180! Normal is below 3 so we have a way to go ...but we are going in the right direction! Tumor markers are one indication of how things are going. This has been our first real sign of good news in these past 4 months. We had treatment Sept 2/3 and will return Sept 9/10 for the second round of cycle #2. . We will have a rest Sept 11-22and will head to Wyoming to attend a football game see Natalie and Brian and have a long over due visit with Dennis's sister Becky,her husband Clyde and Dennis's mom. We hoping for some cool weather and a break from all these tropical storms and hurricanes!
We will have a scan early October-around the 10th after cycle #3 is completed and that will give more precise information on how the treatment is working and what adjustments need to be made. Dennis is tolerating the therapy well and maintaining his weight around 180.
Thank you for your many notes of encouragement and prayers.
