And the Number Is...

Today we went to see Dr. Regenstein for Don's monthly checkup. His blood test showed his cancer count has had another significant decrease. If you remember, when he was diagnosed in June, his count was 55,000 and in September, after three months of chemotherapy, it had gone down to 3,600. Today his count was 600. I asked if it were possible for the count to get to zero and Dr. Regenstein said it would not get that low. He explained to us this chemotheraphy will not cure Don's cancer but can keep it from growing for a while. Don and I feel very fortunate that he is doing so well. I did tell Dr. Regenstein about the shakes that Don takes and he said he was a firm believer in supplemental nutrition and to keep doing exactly what we are doing.
