Last night we got a call from Dr. Regenstein's nurse regarding Don's appointment on December 3rd. The day before each appointment he gets a blood test so that the results are ready and waiting for the doctor when we get there. When we left with the lab request after his last appointment, the doctor had not requested the test that measures his cancer marker and we were a bit disappointed. During the conversation with the nurse, I told Don to ask her if we could add that test to the lab sheet and she said go ahead and do it. So, if you recall, this is the test done in early September that showed his marker went from 55,000 to 3,600 after three months on the Nexavar. When this test is done next week, it will be almost three months since the last one and we are praying that the news is as good as last time. Oh, what a gift that would be. Now, we just have to wait. Fortunately, we will have the Thanksgiving Holidays and our visit to Florida to distract us!
Drew made it home and said he had a wonderful time in Pennsylvania once he got used to the cold weather. His flight came through Atlanta and he said the weather was really rough for a while but calmed down after about 45 minutes. It's good to have him home again!
