Doctor's Appointment

Tim had an appointment with his oncologist in CS today. His CEA which was hovering around 13 is back up to 34. Since the counts are increasing, the three options mentioned previously are out. So he is going to speak with our Denver doc and possibly try something different.His liver counts are also up. [1] antibiotics [2] TPN [3] gallbladder [4] tumor could be causing the increase. He is going to have an ultrasound at Memorial in the next couple of days.

Jane,

You two are so strong. I am always amazed at the ways God keeps you going in this struggle. Joshua and I are always praying for you both.

Lots of love,

Jaclyn

This has to be so confusing and hard to deal with on a daily basis. You all are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for keeping us posted, eventhough I know it must be hard. Oh, and the new Paulie pics are adorable!!! Is she a mix of some sort? cause I want one! :)

love,sarah

it is hard and very draining. its a constant rollercoaster and just when you think things are getting better something else happens. i guess that's how life is. its just with this the breaks are short and the trials are long.
