April 15, 2008 - Tuesday

Good news and bad news. Bad news is John has not felt very well for the last couple of days. His "Lumpy", as he calls it, has given him alot of grieve as far as pain and burning. He usually doesn't have his bad days until Monday and it usually is over by Tuesday morning. Not so this week. He started feeling bad on Sunday mid-day and it has lasted thru into tonight. We pray he will be on the up side tomorrow. We just think Lumpy is puttin` up one heck of a fight because............
The GOOD News........... John's bloodwork cancer marker CA19-9 started out with a elevated level stage IV of 439. Dr. Toma had the blood work drawn again to check the marker and it is down to 305.That is down by almost a 1/4! So it appears the chemos are working. Thank you Lord!
The doctor won't do another CT scan for another couple of months so we don't know just how much shrinkage may be happening. Don't EVER doubt the power of prayer. Everything that has been happening with John is a testament to all the love and prayers going up to Him. And we thank all of you for keeping John in your prayers.
