    Hi Patch...thanks for

    Hi Patch...thanks for thinking of us!

     

    we got the good news yesterday that biopsy was negative for cancer!  He's had false negs before in the bones, but she feels that since this was not a bone biopsy and since his cea is still very low, that this is not cancer.  Thank God!  So she will continue folfox for 4 more treatments, check cea once a month and scan again in June.   She said she wants to put him on a maintenance chemo after folfox is done but we haven't gotten into details yet.

    Thank you all!  We were thrilled to get some good news. He hasn't driven or worked  since october.  He's planning to start driving this week and wants to go back to work april 30.   Got outside to do a few little odd jobs and enjoy the beautiful weather the last few days.
