Thank You

[Guest guest]

I would like to say thanks to everyone who replied about our good

news. I have been doing a lot of thinking these last few days. I

really think that the rise in 's CEA was mostly from the

chronic infection. I don't think the Onc realized how bad he was

really hurting and how infected he was. That is mostly 's

fault because as I have said before, he goes into the doc's offices

talking about air boats or just tries to be funny. I know deep down

he is really scared and does not want to hear what they might have

to say. All I hear from him for about a week before our

appointments is " I don't want to go and I don't want to hear what

they are going to say this time. " I guess if it were me in his

shoes I might not want to hear either. I have always had my

questions written down to ask, but he has yet to ask anything.

I am not stupid and I know the cancer is still floating around

waiting for another site to attack. I know the CT's in the hospital

still showed lung involvemenet. We see the Radioloogist Dec. 30th

and hopefully they can tell us if the IMRT was somewhat succesful.

The thing that makes me the happiest is that he might still be able

to continue the Xeloda since the CEA did the dramatic drop with the

surgery and all the antibiotic that has been pumped into him for the

last six weeks. He finished his last antibiotic pill yesterday.

I would like to wish everyone here a Very Merry Christmas and

Hopefully a better New Year.
