Happy New Year!!!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!   Ours was very nice!  All our kids were at our house along with all but one of our grandchildren.  Deanna had to work and we sincerely missed having her there.  It is always so good to get together with family especially during the holiday season.  We have so much to be thankful for and to celebrate!

We are here at CTCA on Thursday this time because we need to get our traveling home completed before the new years eve celebrating begins on the highways!!  Arnie is getting a treatment -- dozing as usual because of the Benedryl  they give him. We did not have to see the doctor or the physicians assistant today.  We just had to have the port access and now the treatment. 

In 2 weeks, we will be having scans and the complete blood tests, which will include the CEA.  I am not sure about the chemo treatment next time.  We are thinking that depending on scan and CEA results, we may be done with chemo after this treatment; but we may be having one more treatment next time because we need to complete all the treatments in this cycle.  That information is kind of unclear to us at this point, but in any case, after next visit here, we should be done. 

How good God has been to us through all this...many prayers have been answered!  Please continue to remember us in your prayers and keep in touch... I love to read your comments and emails.

Have a happy and safe and wonderful New Year!!!
