change in plans because of good results

Good Day

Well here we go again - a change in plans. 

Went to visit the Dr. to get CT results.  Turns out they are much better then expected.  We arrived expecting some really not so good news and prepared for the worst.  Though we left with smiles and little bounce in our steps.

Chemo treatments will start again on Sept 23rd.  The same regiment I was just on.  The CT results showed there was shrinkage in the lungs, liver and lymph nodes.  So the rising CEA levels was not truly reflective of what was going on.  CEA levels can increase for months without growth in tumors.  Then growth happens. 

While chemo going through chemo treatments the investigation into Radiation will still be going forward.  So more to come on that.   The hope is that after a few treatments there is a break for Radiation then back to Chemo.  If it works this way then we have a great treatment plan for the next few months and longer.  Very happy and excited. 

My file is also being reviewed by Duke University again to see what if any options are available.

That is it for now.  Time for a night at TIFF and some star stalking at the closing gala.  Gonna be soe good times there.  Then off for a few days on a House Boat then a couple days of chillin at Uncle Colins cottage in Bancroft.   A great week of R&R with Teresa before we are back to the grind.  




Smile even if it only brightens your own day.
