Feeling great

Jay had a great two week break. Today's blood work shows that his platelet counts went up during the break. He starts this weeks chemo today. He also had an abdominal ct last week, the finding indicate that the tumors are smaller.

His CA 19-9 tumor markers are still going down! 

December 2013 CA19-9 = 202,000

January 2014 CA19-9 =109,000

February 2014 CA19-9 = 25,000

March 2014 CA19-9 = 18,000

April 2014 CA19-9 = 13,000

May 2014 CA 19-9= 5,500

He is according to Audrey "the big strong daddy" and he proves that daily with his drive, determination and shear strength of will. We are thankful for his progress and feel blessed that he is able to continue to tolerate the treatments.

Jays platelets are low. He will now go to two week break between treatments. No chemo this week. 

We are concerned that additional time between treatment will slow progress. Jay likes to push hard and get results. We have to trust that extra rest will be better overall. 

He is doing very well otherwise and in a good mood. He said he felt completely normal last week. 

We have beach trip this weekend and are looking forward to fun, sun and kiddo time. 

Update

In my 2nd day of chemo this week. I'll be done tommorow afternoon. Lolling forward to the weekend!
