But tonight, thanks to my mother in law who is keeping the twins and my father in law who lets us hang out at his lake house, I'm going to sit here with my wife and enjoy the sunset!

Switching treatment
I'll be starting a new treatment regimen tommorow. Gemzar and Abraxain. My CA19-9 has crept up from a low of 19 to 35 now. 35 to 37 is the max for normal. My CT scan looks stable. This treatment will be 3 weeks in a row followed by 2 off weeks. Overall they say it's easier. I will lose all my hair. No big deal. The next phase of the journey begins!

Round 27
Started round 27. Latest CA19-9 is at 26. Took a new ctDNA test today which monitors my overall tumor burden. Starting glucophage. Glucophage may help fight the cancer.
