Mark was feeling good this morning and went in to the office for the first time since his diagnosis to get work done. He stayed for a good portion of the day. He enjoyed getting back into some form of routine. His appetite is good and he has been able to regain the lost weight from the first chemo. We are still modifying his diet and he is adjusting well. He has some intermittant pains in his abdomen, but seems to be dealing with it without requiring pain medication.
Mark's next chemo is scheduled for December 3rd. We will have another CEA drawn then (that is his cancer marker). We are hoping that it has fallen with the 2 rounds of chemo.

Mark,
It was great to see your office door open when I came down the hall yesterday. I enjoyed getting a chance to catch up. It's not the same at the office without you around. The football discussions just aren't as lively.
Keep me posted on when Calen's bball games are. I think it would be fun to see him play.
Our family continues to pray for you!

Mark,
Glad you were here in the office yesterday. Enjoyed having time to talk a bit and lunch with the group was fun too! We'll get moving on that next research project too once the semester ends. Keven and I have talked about that and will be ready to move forward on that one!

It is great to read that you were able to spend some time in the office and that you are gaining some weight back. You and your family are always in my prayers!
