Tumor Markers

Leisa's most recent blood tests show a decrease in the tumor marker count. Tumors apparently release chemicals to the blood and can be an indication of their size. I gather that lower count means smaller tumors. Good news.

Life-long friends Maureen and Gary and Maureen's sister Lynn paid a wonderful visit from Jersey Saturday as did most of the Gilders (with crab cakes attached). Great to see all of them. Such thoughtful people.

We're just lounging around this weekend waiting for chemotherapy side effects to leave. Should be a quiet week. The hospital bed and wheelchair are gone. The walker is rarely used. Hoping to get the &$#@*& out of the house and do something, anything soon. Hoping for a good week.
