I just got a call from Dr. Nickerson's office. My cancer marker, the CA19-9, is down to 40. Last month it was 61, down from 100 in October, 300 in September. This downward trend is exciting, but what's even more exciting is that normal people -- that means you -- have a CA19-9 of less than 39.
Dr. Nickerson has to admit that there is no exact test that shows just how healthy I am. The marker is indicative, as is the CAT scan, as is how I'm generally feeling. The last CAT scan showed no changes since June, and I feel good.
So, at least for now, I'm in great shape!

Yay!! That's certainly a reason to celebrate! I had a wonderful visit home, and I especially enjoyed beating y'all at Scrabble. Especially Dad.
I'll say that is one wonderful Christmas Present, Lucie. I am thrilled! You're doing a lot of things right, and so are Jerry, Max, Cinda, Anya, Rob, and Miles. And the cats. And your wonderful brothers and sisters-inlaws, brother, friends, etc. WOW! "That's the Power of Love," and I don't mean to minimize your own personal power--you have faith in people--in us, and we love you for it. And you do your part to be healthy. I'm happy.
