YAY FOLFOX!

Today I got the results from the blood test that was taken Tuesday, before the second treatment of FOLFOX. So the test reflects one treatment. My liver enzymes are still elevated. Hopefully that's from the shock to the liver from the SIR Spheres and the levels will gradually go back down. The good news is that my CEA count has come down from 58.4 to 41.1. That's a decent drop. The CEA count is used to monitor tumor activity. Although it's not considered 100% accurate, my count had been rising. Turning it around is significant. It's early in the game and there's no telling if or how long this regimen will continue working but it's a good start. It should buy me some more time. I'm very thankful. Please continue praying for Larry Alvey. He's at a very difficult point in his battle. Carry on. --------------------------------------
