Had an Oncologist appointment today following a CT scan last week. “Short of a miraculous healing it’s as good as you could hope for” … it seems prayer and chemo are a very effective combo.

Comparing scans side by side it is clear that the liver tumours are much reduced in size and their shape shows evidence of healthy tissue regenerating into the tumours.

CEA markers in the blood also continue to reduce, they were 30 pre treatment, 35 after round 1, 10 after round 2 and now after round 3 are 3.6.

The current plan is to have another 2 rounds of treatment (18 and 31 Dec) and then miss a cycle to have a break to allow 2-3 weeks to enjoy some of the NZ summer without chemo side-effects. Then get back into treatment in the last week of January.

Thanks again for all the prayer and support … it is both humbling and very much appreciated.
