The doctor just called. If it was worth him calling me, it's worth me writing to you.
They did some lab work yesterday while I was there (of course) and the news was good. There's a chemical in the blood that indicates cancer is growing, it's called the CEA marker. Normal range is less than 5. Two months ago mine was around 3,000! Yesterday it was at 197. Yippee! Orders of magnitude improvement are what we're all about around here.
With that, we're going out to find something nice for lunch to celebrate.

WOW! I'm at a loss for words...that's an astonishing difference, Clem. Beautiful news on a beautiful day, sunny and 75 here in Greer, and I'm going to celebrate with you and take the GS out for spin. Here's to continued progress!
Mentally, I picture a line of cute cheerleaders shouting: "Beat It! Whip It! Way to Go!"
But, they are standing outside the "Temple of Atonement" and some of them have beards. Hmm..
Keep it up!
That's great news, Clem! You are kicking this cancer's a*!@ No surprise!
