Good news

Tumor marker down from 421 to 261! It has gone 714 to 421 to 261 in 2 months. This is very good. Normal, that is, no cancer, is 39 and below. I have not been there for a few years, but I would like to see it get down to the 100's. I am using this to get ok with going for chemo today. I feel pretty good, so it is hard to let that go... oh well...At least the steroids will keep me pumping for a couple of days.

April Update

I had a CT Scan last week and it came out representative of my last blood test.  The liver cancer has shrunk and the lung is stable and not doing much.  I have been dealing with heat in my hands which is a toxicity response to the cancer. Because it was still going on this week, the doc postponed chemo for a week. YAY!!! so I have a week off.  I feel ok, just a bit tired but glad to have the chemo break.  
Have some visitors this weekend, so I am laying low and hanging with them.
love to you all!
