Good News!!! We just came from a 9-hour session undergoing lab, then a visit with Dr. Morgan and the chemo. Dr. Morgan recommended the addition of the Avastin which attacks the blood vessels that feed the tumors on the liver. We knew if he proceeded it would be a good sign since he told us early on he would do so only if he felt it would help.

While Rocky was getting the chemo preparations a nurse came in with the news just received from the lab that Rocky’s CEA count was great.

First CEA on 04-26-06 was 148.7
Today it was 43.0

As you can see, it’s quite a drop. In simple terms the nurse said……. “It means the treatment is working and the tumors are shrinking”…….when I questioned her further she repeated her first statement. I could tell she was pleased with it and we were both greatly encouraged.

We’re home getting our 8 critters taken care of and it’s time to get some supper. You can bet we will continue our Integrated Medicine and diet which I am positive is partly the reason we got the good results. I may be silly but good nutrition can’t hurt anyone……cancer or no. Will talk more with you tomorrow. We’re tired after a long, long day.

Color us both with a SMILE!!!!


Until tomorrow,
Essentially Esther
