June 28-Update

Hello. It's been a while since the last update. Mark had his CT scan done. We got mixed results. They saw microscopic disease in his abdomen with some fluid present. He has a lot of scar tissue from his previous surgery and intraabdominal chemotherapy which can make reading the film difficult. He had one prior CT that was done after surgery so they have one film to compare to. The good news...there wasn't a large mass in the abdomen, nothing in the lungs and the spots on his liver haven't changed any so they still feel that is just a benign finding. The CT films were sent off to Pittsburgh to get their opinion on them as well, so hopefully we will hear something in the next week. For now, Dr. Farmer plans to stay with the same chemo regimen. We will see what the CEA looks like tomorrow when we go in for Mark's treatment.

Mark is feeling well overall. He gets fatigued easily in the heat and has to rest sometimes, but usually does okay in his off week of chemo. We took him out to eat at Ariccia for the Father's Day Brunch last week and got his golf clubs regripped. He is now ready to hit the golf course.

Continue to keep Mark in your prayers. God bless!!!!!
