CEA Test Results

We're excited to give everyone a quick update about the test results we got back today. We met at the house for lunch so we could give the doctors office a call in to see about getting the results back. Tim had to leave a message for the nurse and got a call back a little while later. Before chemo started Tim's CEA counts were 5.7 where the normal person is preferably below 2.5 but 3.0 is considered to be the start of the "normal" range. Tim's test came back at a 3.4 which means the chemo is working!

Although we still have a long journey to go this was some great news for us to get today and makes it all just a little bit easier to bear.

Thanks to all of you for your support over the last few months, we wouldn't have been able to make it this far without you!

Tim & Jenny
