My FIL started chemo week before last. He gets 3 days out of every 2 weeks. His regiment is called "Fox 5," which sounds more like a news station than a cancer treatment. Anyway, before his second treatment that started this week, his doc did blood work to measure his CEA levels (basically measures how much cancer is there). In one chemo treatment, FIL's levels fell from 130+ to just above 90! I big reduction that clearly shows the chemo is working.
The doc said he was proud of my FIL and that his attitude has a lot to do with these results. I've said more than once that I feel sure FIL in more stubborn than cancer. Mind over matter, in this case cancer!
That's great news, Rachel!
