Yesterday was a day of good news! In the afternoon we met with Matt's team of doctors and they were very happy about the results of the colonoscopy and they were happy to report to us that his tumor markers have now dropped to 10! The tumor marker had started at 85!! The oncologist is certain that the tumors in the liver are shrinking as well. The next time we come we will have a ct scan to look at his liver.
Today Matt was up early and feeling pretty good. He even went to lunch with me to meet Brittani. Usually on the second day of chemo he is so tired and sick that all he does is stay in bed. We hope this is a good sign.
The doctor thinks that it might be better to have chemo treatments every three weeks instead of every two. The past two chemo treatments have been this way due to his low platelet count and Matt seems to have more strength and energy with that much time in between. While we would like to get this chemotherapy done and over with, maybe in the long run it is better. We are trying the supplements they recommended and will be able to see if they make a difference in his platelet count. If they do then we may go back to every two weeks but we will have to wait and see.
Again we would like to thank all of you for your prayers in our behalf. We send our love to you all!
