Hello to everyone. Mark had another round of chemo today. He certainly wasn't looking forward to it this morning. He did pretty well through the morning and was able to work on a paper most of the day. He got so tired and sleepy around 2:00 and fell asleep sitting straight up in the chair with his laptop on his lap. It's been downhill from there. We put the antinausea patch on him Saturday and started the watch which uses the electrical stimulations this time. I don't know whether it's helping. Mark ate some lunch today which he usually won't do, but hasn't had anything to eat or drink since then. He has vomited a couple of times, but still seems to be much better than previously.
His CT scan will be next Wednesday (the 24th). Pray that we don't see anything ugly. Dr. Farmer will decide after that and his next CEA number what to do with the chemo. The good news is that his cancer testing came back good. That is, his type of cancer would be a good responder to the other type of chemo drug they could put him on. We were really happy to hear that news in case we need to go there.
Colton came home today after spending 9 days in Florida with the Plans on vacation and for a baseball tournament. We missed him terribly and I think he was a little homesick. It is good to have him home again. He was excited to see Emily (which is unusual). He took her outside and taught her how to hit off the tee. It was really cute. She didn't quite share the same enthusiasm for the sport that Colton has, so it frustrated Colton a little.
Thanks to all of you for the continued support. God bless!!!!!!!!
