Chemo delay

I'm on a chemo delay this week due to low blood counts. Had to avoid crowds due to low white counts. I have another check up tommorow. Hopefully my counts will improve. 

Latest CA-9

My tumor marker dropped from 576 to 120 as of May 31 2016. Results after first 3 treatments!

New Chemo Update

Jay is on his 4th round of the new chemo. It is 3 days of IV with pump followed by one week of rest. His counts seems to be rebounding very quickly. He is no longer having the pain that originated the discover of the re occurrence. We should get a new tumor market number next week. Over all he is doing really well. He had a lot of energy this past weekend and was able to enjoy a few days at the lake. His hair decided to "let go" just in time for a summer buzz. He is eating well and even gained a few pounds. We feel very blessed and thankful for all of the physicians and clinicians who have been with us on this journey.

We are on the count down to moving into the new house...8 days!
