They also ordered a CA 19-9. Praise the Lord, the numbers keep going down! I was concerned that the two week break between treatments would mean that the treatments would not be as effective. But it looks like he is still making huge strides.
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
June 2014 CA19-9=1,964
At this point his mental strength is as much in play as his physical strength. He has completed 12 rounds of chemo in the last 6 months. That is a daunting task and I'm so proud of him for being able to take it on with such a positive attitude. Planning for family vacations helps give him something to look forward to, something to distract from the "now". We don't know where the next vacation will be but I'm sure it will be great!
Thank you all for the continues prayers.
