Saturday November 21st

Jon heads out to the "Big Apple" this week. He has had 2 rounds of systemic chemo in MPLS and is going to NY for his 2nd hepatic pump therapy. His tumor marker (CEA) has gone down to 1.1, which is great news! He is struggling with weight loss though, losing 5 lbs over the last 2 weeks. Jon has lost 20+ lbs since surgery. He has his horrible rash back from the chemotherapy, and hasn't been sleeping well at all. We continue to have fun through all of this and pray all will be OK. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
