Jay starts round 15 today. He received GREAT news from the doctor.  His tumor markers are continuing to go down. The results were taken prior to round 14. The number may actually be lower now! But we only get the results once per month.

He is feeling good. Has energy during his off weeks. Seems to rebound more quickly. He does have numbness in his finger tips and toes but thankfully not to the point that the doctor will reduce his chemo dose. Overall, he is doing an amazing job of tolerating the treatments, staying positive, and enjoying each day. 

We took the kiddos to Joe Wheeler for a few days, by boat...very adventurous! We continue to look forward to more family time and travel in the near future.
