Christmas Eve
Cancer isn't taking a holiday. Natalie and Dennis headed to Miami very early this morning for Dennis's Doctor's appointment and chemotherapy. CEA tumor marker is down to 118! This is such a relief after last week's slight increase! I am hoping they will be home in the early evening for some celebrating! Merry Christmas and much love to all.

Session 7 on Dec 11
saw a further reduction on my blood work
cancer markers. from 179 to 131. remember
it was 660 in October...........
Session #8 Dec 18; last of this series, blood markers
for cancer went up from 131 to 142 a increase
of 11............ increase isn't good.. Dr said other
markers are good so don't put too much in any
one indicator. Session 8 went OK, Brian drove
and stayed with me all day at the MIA hospital.
Session #9 (I thought only 8 sessions??) is scheduled for
December 24th. and then cat scan on 2 January
to see were we are with liver tumor............
More info forthcoming when cat scan read
on 5 January. Have a good Holiday....DW

Continued Progress
We completed #6 of 8 treatments in Miami yesterday.We received information today from the Dr that the tumor marker dropped further to 131 after treatment #5! (from start of 666)
When pressing the Dr. to what he thinks..."we'll see what the scans show". We'll be taking scans week of 22 December and probably won't have results until the following week due to the holidays. We believe this combination of chemo is working for Dennis and he looks and seems so much better! Thank you for your continued prayers!
