Update on Things

Since it's been about a month and a half, I figured I'd let everyone know what is going on.

As of the treatment two weeks ago (previous to the one this past weekend), her CEA count is down to 25, from 800 when she was first diagnosed. Her liver lesions have gone down in size anywhere from 10 to 30 percent (these are based on the various lesions on her liver they choose to watch). This is amazing news in such a short time.

We are very grateful to have such support from everyone. Although we are not in the clear yet, and the treatments still continue. They have added another drug called Avastin, which basically is an agent that cuts off the blood supply to the cancer. She's had two treatments with that, and it seems to be affecting her to a degree, although I can't confirm that for sure. She has been much more exhausted after the treatments the last two, and just hasn't been herself.

We have been keeping up with everything around the house, although with yardwork being re-introduced to the mix, it may get a little more interesting around here. To say that Holly will learn how to mow is an understatement. She may even get her green thumb this summer. We can't wait for Logan's waiver to kick in, so we can relax a bit and get some help with him.
