Prep for Round 4

I'm working on getting everything updated from our last 2 weeks but we just got some pretty amazing news that we wanted to share. As we've mentioned before they take a little extra blood from Tim every couple of weeks to run a CEA test which marks tumor activity and is what triggered testing to find the spots on his lungs. His counts have been climbing rapidly over the previous 3 tests but we just received news from Tim's doctor that the counts actually dropped 75% from the last test that was run 4 weeks ago.

This is huge news and we are really excited to find that his medicine is working and doing what it's intention is. It really makes it all worth it. There is still a long way to go and by no means does this mean that we are out of the woods as the CEA could shoot right back up 2 weeks from now but these days we celebrate every little achievement.

Thank you all for your incredible and unwavering support and please continue to keep Tim in your prayers for the miracle he needs, they seem to be working! :)

    Jenny and Tim,

    What great news and we will certainly continue to keep you in our prayers. It was good to see you both the other day at the mall. I thought you looked great Tim and I was glad your treatments are not taking too much out of you. Keep up with the good reports.
