We went to the oncologist Friday and received great news. The CEA marker (count) had dropped to 25. Yup - that's right - 25. The doctor was extremely pleased but warned me that he doesn't just manage to the numbers. So he made me get up on the workbench (not being in the medical field that's all I know to call it) and he started poking around on my stomach and neck. But when done he said I was doing superb. Wow. I hadn't lost any weight and he thought that was a good thing also.
So the bottom line is he thinks maybe I can go into a maintenance program by the first of the year. That means a modified chemo I think - but he mentioned that I wouldn't have to endure the pump for 2 days. Well, that's good news. While part of me dreads 4 more months of the bi-weekly chemo treatments the other part of me says buck it up cowboy and take your medicine.
I felt good enough to drive to Springfield, MO Friday. It was great to be back on the road. Saturday was my birthday and our son and grandson took us out to a Brazilian steak house - that was quite an experience and very enjoyable.
This last week has been filled with visiting with family and friends and I feel myself getting stronger all the time. If I over do it then I know that a long nap is coming. I still have to fight off the fatigue from the chemo but its getting better.

Great to hear that you're doing better. Cleta and Gary
ReplyDeletePleased to hear that you are doing well. It is good that you were able to enjoy your birthday. We went to a Brazilian steak house with Tim and Leah last year in Chicago - quite an experience! I don't think we have anything like that over here! We saw the picture of your 2 new grandsons - both gorgeous - what a blessing!
ReplyDeleteGreat news!! I'm glad you are feeling better and able to do some fun things. Eating some steak is always a good thing! If that's a part of your therapy that I can help with--count me in! Ha! Jacky and I would like to get together with you guys!

Few Months ago i went for a check up in the hospital, the doctor took my blood for test and told me to come after 3 days for the results, after 3 days passed i went back to the hospital for the results,and it was then the doctor told me that i was diagnosed with HIV virus.
ReplyDeleteOn that very day i was left with no happiness and everything in life became meaningless to me, i began to think on how i could get rid of this virus from my body, i decided to go on internet and do some research, while i was surfing the internet i came across some good testimonials on how Dr Idahosa has been using his herbal medicine to treat and save different patients from various diseases and infections, i also saw someone who was commenting on how she was cured from HIV with the medicine.
To me i never believed in them, that was the first time to come across something like that, i just decided to try it out if it did really worked!
They gave the contact details of Dr Idahosa and i copied his email and later that night i sent him a message concerning my health.
He later gave me a response and then we talked about the medicine and he said to me he was going to send the medicine to my home address and that he needed my address of where i reside.
I sent him all he requested for in other to get the medicine ready for me, and after 3 days i received a mail from the Post Office and to my surprised it was the herbal medicine from Dr Idahosa.
He explained to me on how i was to take the medicine, he said i was to take 2 times daily for 14 days, i followed exactly as i was told, before he sent me the medicine he said that i should go for check up after finish drinking the medicine, so after i finished the medicine i went back to the hospital for check up and to my greatest surprise again i was told that i am negative, i know someone would not believed this, but it did happened to a brother like me, i have always dreamed of living in good health again, thank god everything went well for me and thank god for Dr Idahosa Miracle Healing Medicine, you can reach Dr Idahosa at { dridahosasolutioncenter@gmail.com } or call his whatssap on +2348134261542, friends this man has a cure to all human disease, do not believe in medical drugs, let try some Natural Remedy.
