It is Friday afternoon, August 27th about 5:44 PM and we are here at CTCA, Zion Illinois getting another chemo treatment. The weather is beautiful - no rain or storms. God is in Heaven and things are progressing well.
The really significant event so far this trip is that the CEA has dropped dramatically. It has gone from 28, three weeks ago, down to 17. It had been up as high as 36 about 8 weeks ago. The chemo drugs are working on the cancer! CEA is a cancer marker in the blood that indicates active cancer tumors. Normal is about 5 or less.
We are so thankful for the prayers and concerns from our family and friends! We encourage you to continue to remember us in your prayers and please feel free to call or email us at any time -- or come see us!!
It is so easy for me to become discouraged and down and there are times when I feel that I am not providing the kind of encouragement that Arnie needs so I need your prayers too.
Keep in touch with us... I will keep you informed as we continue our travels down this road.
Wow! That is great news!! That should give Dad alot of encouragement. You both are in our prayers and we are always here for you. Travel home safely today. We love you!
