I had my follow up yesterday with Dr. S to see if I can stay off the juice until my July scan. I had blood work done last week and it all looked good except for some more increase in my CEA. But, since I feel pretty good and the bloods looked okay (they post them online so I can see them ahead of time), I was pretty optimistic about getting the remaining six weeks off until my next scan. The appointment did not disappoint, so I am free until July!
I have been truly fortunate this past year, with the tumors growing at only a modest rate. The pain has (so far) been manageable and I look forward to getting through Vicki’s graduation and a trip to New England with Robbie in late-June/early-July before the scan. I think we’ve about made it to the end of this road, however, and I doubt there will be another reprieve.
And, it actually didn’t rain yesterday! So, I was able to walk around Manhattan without getting soaked - even saw that big yellow fireball in the sky for the first time since I-don’t-know-when! Like the groundhog, I saw my shadow…perhaps that’s why I got six more weeks!

I am delighted that you will have some more time. My prayers are answered again. Love, Mom
This a great time to be feeling well. We are going to have some lovely weather for the next few days and now you can enjoy it. We are thinking about you.
I love the groundhog connection. As always, your writing is wonderful. Very happy you got good news. See you soon!
Hi Brian,
Thinking about you guys and wishing you well. Vicki's graduation should be quite an event... I dare you not to cry. I went to my youngest daughters kindergarden graduation last week and I almost lost it. Doesn't seem that long ago that Vicki was that age.
Regards Chris O.
