    Dear Pepe
    Down is very good! 33% is excellent!

    I can understand that you were hoping it was much more, but that may be for the next test.

    I know this round of chemo has been difficult for you, but hopefully you will get through all the treatments and have little to no CEA to report.

    Hugs and prayers for chemo to work harder at killing the cancer.
