I am feeling so much better on my new chemo regimen. I take 3 pills twice a day with breakfast and dinner. So far there have not been any of the yucky side effects. I'm feeling pretty normal...not 100% but a lot better than I have in the last 6 months. My latest CEA score was 2.6...it came down just a little more. Hopefully it will hold steady for a while. My doctor is just not sure what the cancer will do or how soon it will start to grow back. He's not up to letting me take a full break from chemo just yet. So that is how I am doing...I'm getting excited for Christmas and spending time with my family in Seattle.
The funeral went really well. Mike did a great job with the eulogy and I was so proud of him for doing it. We both commented to each other at the end of the day that his mom we're sure enjoyed the day and the celebration of her life. It is still hard to think that she is no longer with us. Mike is doing really well though. We went to the Grand America for thanksgiving dinner with Mike's dad. The food was good but we were missing Jean. I'm not sure we'll do it again because there is nothing like a home cooked thanksgiving dinner.

I'm glad the new chemo is easier on you because you sure deserve a break. Christmas is going to be so fun!!!!!!! I can't wait to see you again!
That's great news that your cancer score dropped even more! We are excited to see you guys. We have been saying extra prayers for you and Mike due to the recent passing of his mom.
Just came back from Boise helping out with Mindy's crew. Bill asked me to check your blog tonight and we're both happy that you're doing so well. That's just what we all want to hear! If I don't see you, have a fabulous time with your family. And love to all of them! Love, Trudy and Bill
