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.

Round 26
Jays is starting his 26th round of chemo today. His blood work looks great and he is doing exceptionally well. We will get through this week, recover and start preparing for a trip to New Orleans for Jazzfest! Jazz fest will mark 18 months since diagnosis. And looking forward to summer at the lake.
