Matt went to Johnson Creek Cancer Clinic on Wednesday to do a blood test. This test is a "Cancer Marker Test". This is the one that shows if the cancer is growing inside of him. When we were in Washington D.C. they did 5 tumor marker test. Four of the tests showed normal and one of the tests showed of the charts he was filled with cancer. It is a "CEA" Blood test. In Washington D.C. his score for this test was 26 . . . off the wall. Way to hight! Dr. Sugarbaker wants that number to be between 0-3 and Johnson Creek told us the number could be between 0-5. I knew I had to call Johnson Creek on Thursday to find out Matt's score. I was affarid to call and find out the score. Karen, the nurse in Johnson Creek called and told me that Matt's score was 1.5!! Yeah!! He is doing good! He will still have to have Chemo. Waiting to see exactly what kind and how much. Very happy to hear his score was 1.5.
When I told Matt he was very, very happy to hear!!
All thoughs prayers are working! Please keep Matt in your prayers that his cancer stays away for a long time!! Matt and Casey have way to many plans. They have booked the hall for their wedding in July 16, 2011!

Thinking of Matt
A Letter from Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes, filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say,
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think o f me,
I'm right here in your heart!
Matt, your Family misses you every day and loves you forever in our hearts!

Hey Matt,
Didn't know you guys were still blogging, so I have missed some updates. Sounds like you are doing well - your CEA score is SUPER! Mine is about the same - YEAH! I had the same issues with stomach aches, just keep eating a little and often (maybe drink some Ensure to add some calories). Glad to know that overall you are doing well, pray for you every night. Tell your mom & dad "hi"!
yay!!! good to hear that everything is looking good right now!!
Hey Matt, this is Abbie one of your nurses from 2NW. Sounds like you are doing great! So sorry to hear about your Grandma. Also, I hope your Mom is recovering well from her appendectomy. Happy Birthday too! It's great to see that you are getting back to all of things you enjoy. Good luck with chemo. I look forward to the updates.
