Some good news!

After just 2 chemo treatments, the tumor marker dropped from 1,415 to 436 (acceptable range is < 33)!!  The chemo is working!   The 3rd chemo treatment will be on Sept. 23.   Also, received insurance approval for liver embolization (targeted chemo treatment).  The first procedure will be at 7 AM on Oct. 12.   Working on half the liver at a time (the other half will be worked on in November).   Will require overnight stay at the hospital.   The 4th chemo treatment will be on Oct. 21.   We are happy that Ginny is responding to the treatments & hope for the continuation of the positive outcomes.   Thank you for your continued support, prayers, & words of encouragement.   We are grateful.

Dean and Ginny
