I finally got my test results back and there was a change in my CEA. It dropped from less than one to what the lab termed non-measurable. Stacy, Kathi, Monica, and Betsy you optimists are always going through life with an attitude I find frustrating to understand and at the same time deeply admire. Thank God for people like you! In my career I've seen the worst that people can be and generally I believe that good only wins if it is very very careful. Still I consider myself fortunate in my life even with cancer. Its difficult to see the "glass as half full". However on KathiM's advice I will consider down-sizing the glass. Lou

    Even though I usually relish in the concept of my being "right," I find greater happiness in celebrating the good health of friends!

    Keep up the great progress!
