6.6 and dropping

We went to Wenatchee this morning so Glenn could see his doctor and get the results of his blood tests.  His CEA marker is still dropping.  The mass is breaking up.  When he started Chemo the marker was at 9.6, three weeks ago it was 7.2.  Today it is 6.6.  It is dropping faster now than at the beginning.  Good news for us.  He is feeling good, a little anemic...but hey, he really does push himself.  He is golfing as we speak and yesterday along with other things he painted some trim on our new shed.  Tomorrow we are driving to Idaho to visit my mother...a post for another day!

So glad to hear this good news! And I'm glad to read in another post that you had some time for yourself recently. You do such a good job caring for your family - I'm glad you can refill your own tanks once in a while :-)
